Today, technology has invaded almost all aspects of our life, for better or for worse. Though technology’s role in our life is debatable to some extent (which is also not the scope of this article), its happy union with education is definitely something to cheer for.

Starting with the assessment of a student’s expectations from the courseware, it leads the student through a step by step guide involving the design and development of the training material, and finally allowing the instructor to gauge the efficacy of the program through student assessment.
