IV. Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
What is E-Learning? Also give its Advantages and Disadvantages.
Answer:
E-Learning is learning utilizing electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom. In most cases, it refers to a course, program or degree delivered completely online.

e-Learning is nothing but the use of technology to connect teachers and students who are physically miles apart. The training can be delivered by a number of means. In the past, these have included the use of mainframe computers, floppy diskettes, multimedia CD-ROMs, and interactive videodisks. Most recently, Web technology (both Internet and Intranet delivery) are being used.
(i) Advantages of E-leaming:

• The 4A of E-learning. – Anytime, Any Place, Any Pace, Any Subject:
  e-learning materials can be accessed at the most convenient time for learning, if the course material is well constructed then learning can take place in short segments and can be customised to suit the learner’s needs.
• Empowerment: Students are in charge of their own learning.
• Flexibility: e-learning material can be accessed in a non-sequential way, enabling students to navigate content in different ways, or obtain a global view before tackling the details of individual units.
• Cost Effective: large numbers of students can have access to the same materials but can be supported by peer-to-peer or student-to-tutor support services thus, reducing the cost of delivery.
• Up-to-date Content: Course content is located in one place so it can be easily updated and can provide direct links to supporting materials such as Internet and library resources.
• Tailored Learning: the time needed to learn a particular topic or skill is reduced or “compressed” as learning can be modified to suit the users needs and requirements. E-learning can provide a variety of learning experiences including interactive elements.
• Retainable: the smaller and more relevant the learning is the easier it is to capture and remember.
• Consistent: all students get the same standardised set of materials from e-learning.
• Interactive: well constructed materials will have elements of interactivity through simulations etc. which will underpin and enforce the learning.
• Collaborative: The use of groups and teams working together in collaborative learning and learner-learner interaction enforces employability skills.
• Used To Track Student Performance: student usage of the materials can
  be monitored and early potential drop-out can be detected and given remedial support.
• Used for Self Assessment: students can be offered automatically-marked self¬assessment exercises to identify skill/knowledge levels and learning needs before engaging with course content.

(ii) Disadvantages of E-learning:

• Technology dependent: learners will need access to a machine of minimum specification as dictated by the e-learning supplier or access to a service with a high bandwidth to transfer the course materials in a timely way.
• Material Incompatibility: some materials designed for one particular system will not function properly on another (for example, the Apple Macintosh and the Windows PC). Standards will help in the area.
• Unsuitable for Certain Types of Training: any skill that relies heavily on inter-personal contact although these courses could be supplemented by E-learning.
• Unsuitable for Certain Types of Learners: E-learning, requires a high-level of self-discipline and personal time management. E-Learners need to be highly self-motivated to take full advantage of the medium as often the online learning experience can be impersonal. Working through ‘packaged’ programmes can be irritating.
• Expensive: start-up cost of an E-learning, service is expensive and the cost of production of online training materials is very high. Teachers must be confident that the extra costs are balance with the benefits of delivering a course online. Significant time needs to be invested in course set-up and in ongoing maintenance (checking links, updating course content etc.).
• Reliant on Human Support: E-learning is still dependent on help on either the course materials or the software.
• No Match for Face-to-Face Teaching: Electronic communication does not necessarily provide a good match for face-to-face communication and is more linear than face-to-face discussion.
• Too Reliant on IT Skills: learners may have limited IT skills, or be uncomfortable with electronic communication and need to learn how to use the medium effectively.

Question 2.
What are the things we should keep in mind at time of Internet Banking?
Answer:
Follow these tips and you can minimize the risks to your finances and bank:

1. Choose an account with two factor authentication: Try to get a bank account that offers some form of two factor authentication for online banking.
   These days many, but not all, banks offer a small device that can be used to generate a unique code each time you log in. This code is only valid for a very short period of time and is required in addition to your login credentials in order to gain access to your online account.
2. Create a strong password: If your bank requires a user-generated password in order to access online accounts make sure you choose one that is strong. The best way to achieve this is by making it long and a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.
   Always avoid using any common words or phrases and never create a password that contain your name, initials, or your date of birth. If your bank allows it, change your ^ password every few months.
3. Secure your computer and keep it up-to-date: Security software is essential these days, regardless of what you use your computer for.
4. Avoid clicking through emails: If you receive an email that appears to be from your bank that asks for such details then treat it with suspicion as it may well be a phishing attempt to trick you into handing your credentials over.
5. Access your accounts from a secure location: It’s always best practice to connect to your bank using computers and networks you know and trust.
   But, if you need to access your bank online from remote locations you might want to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that you can establish an encrypted connection to your home or work netv/ork and hccess your bank from there.
6. Always log out when you are done: It is good practice to always log out of your online banking session when you have finished your business. This will lessen the chances of falling prey to session hijacking and cross-site scripting exploits.
7. Set up account notifications (if available): Some banks offer a facility for customers to set up text or email notifications to alert them to certain activities on their account. For example, if a withdrawal matches or exceeds a specified amount or the account balance dips below a certain point then a message will be sent.
   Such alerts could give quick notice of suspicious activity on your account.
8. Monitor your accounts regularly: It should go without saying that monitoring the your bank statement each month is good practice as any unauthorised transactions will be sure to appear there.

Question 3.
Give the advantages and disadvantages of Internet Banking.
Answer:
Advantages of Internet Banking: Internet Banking has several advantages over traditional one which makes operating an account simple and convenient. It allows you to conduct various transactions using the bank’s website and offers several advantages.

(i) Some of the advantages of internet banking are:

• Online account is simple to open and easy to operate.
• It is quite convenient as you can easily pay your bills, can transfer funds between accounts, etc. Now, you do not have to stand in a queue to pay off your bills; also you do not have to keep receipts of all the bills as you can now easily view your transactions.
• It is available all the time, i.e. 24×7. You can perform your tasks from anywhere and at any time; even in night when the bank is closed or on holidays. The only thing you need to have is an active internet connection.
• It is fast and efficient. Funds get transferred from one account to the other very fast. You can also manage several accounts easily through internet banking.
• Through Internet banking, you can keep an eye on your transactions and account balance all the time. This facility also keeps your account safe. This means that by the ease of monitoring your account at anytime, you can get to know about any fraudulent activity or threat to your account before it can pose your account to severe damage.
• It also acts as a great medium for the banks to endorse their products and services. The services include loans, investment options, and many others.

(ii) Disadvantages of Internet Banking: Though there are many advantages of internet banking, but nothing comes without disadvantages and everything has its pros and cons; same is with internet banking. It also has some disadvantages which must be taken care of.

(iii ) The disadvantages of online banking include the following:

• Understanding the usage of internet banking might be difficult for a beginner at the first go. Though, there are some sites which offer a demo on how to access online accounts, but not all banks offer this facility. So, a person who is new, might face some difficulty.
• You cannot have access to online banking if you don’t have an internet connection; thus without the availability of internet access, it may not be useful.
• Security of transactions is a big issue. Your account information might get hacked by unauthorized people over the internet. ,
• Password security is a must. After receiving your password, do change it and memorize it otherwise your account may be misused by someone who knows your password inadvertently.
• You cannot use it, in case, the bank’s server is down.
• Another issue is that sometimes it becomes difficult to note whether your transaction was successful or not. It may be due to the loss of net connectivity in between, or due to a slow connection, or, the bank’s server is down.
  But, Internet Banking has definitely made the life easy for users by providing online access to various banking services.

Question 4.
What do you mean by E-Commerce? Also give its advantages.
Answer:
E-commerce (electronic commerce or EC) is the buying and selling of goods and services, or the transmitting of funds or data, over an electronic network, primarily the internet. These business transactions occur either as business-to-business, business-to-consumer, consumer-to-consumer or consumer-to-business.

6. Provide Comparison Shopping.
7. Enable Deals, Bargains, Coupons, and Group Buying.
8. Remain Open All the Time.
9. Create Markets for Niche Products.

Question 5.
What do you understand by E-Governance and Good Government ? Justify your answer with appropriate reason.
Answer:
What ails India is not e-governance deficit but governance-deficit. It is good governance that will propel and sustain economic growth in India, and reduce poverty and income inequality levels. It is good governance that will open up new employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, and channelize productive capacities of the population to build competitive edge in global markets. And, it is good governance which can singularly restore trust of citizens in governments and make governments accountable to them.

If we are serious about e-governance, the questions we need to pose when discussing e-governance should be different. Not how long it would take for a particular service to become online but how long would it take for a slum dweller or a farmer to break the cycle of poverty? Instead of when will all the villages be connected to, when will voices of the poor be heard and start to matter. And, instead of ability to vote online and elect representatives, to ability to recall or reject representatives who do not perform.

The biggest contribution of e-governance would be if it channelizes all energies, debates, partnerships and resources into a singular mission of improving governance in India not just for service delivery but also in policy settings, resources allocation, implementation and monitoring.

Interestingly, this was also the conclusion emerging at the end of the e-governance forum to make good governance technology-independent so that the focus is on providing good governance to everyone and at all times.
