Other techniques, such as teleconferencing and web conferencing are suitable for small tutorial groups, where discussion of common problems can be considered

Summary
The growth of access to the Internet has made a major effect on the increasing use of e-learning. Students nowadays communicate with the lecturers either as one-to-one or as a group, using e-mail or appropriate technologies such as Skype, for the replacement of the face-to-face personal tuition sessions, dealing with individual problems or specific advice of feedback of the students' work Other techniques, such as teleconferencing and web conferencing are suitable for small tutorial groups, where discussion of common problems can be considered. Web conferencing can be used to deliver new material, using facilities where the students can share access to the lecturer's screen They can ask questions by raising a virtual hand to obtain the virtual microphone to be able to be heard by the group, or the students can type a question which is either seen by the others or just seen only the lecturer. Access to these are available on a 24x7 basis by students anywhere in the world
