1. The role played by the teacher/instructor is vital. He/she is necessary to offer necessary feedback to students. He/she is also sometimes responsible for keeping students’ progress or scores.
2. A well-organized Learning Management System is necessary. It should be easily navigable by both the student and the instructor.
3. The learning material is the key feature in e-learning. Usually, course material is formatted in a way that is simple and easily accessible for students.
