Digital resources and technology facilitate provision of packaged and
online services. The library and information profession has indeed shown
much interest in the digital environment. However, due to some of the
unique features of digital resources in networked and distributed mode,
there is a need for orientation and training to enable harnessing the full
potential of digital resources and services. The Digital Learning
Environment (DLE) encompasses an interesting range of activities from
making available online learning and teaching resources to services
related to digital instruction, curriculum design, simulated classroom
activities, monitoring, examination and quizzing. Learning is a life long
endeavor with different age groups and aptitudes and Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) can be adequately deployed to facilitate
the learning interest irrespective of social and physical constraints.
