I remember that Patanjali, an ancient Indian philosopher has presented Ashtanga (eight-fold path) of Yoga in his work &#8221;\u00a0<i>Yoga-Sutra &#8221;\u00a0<\/i>in Sanskrit language in about 400 A. D. : (1) Yama (restraint),\u00a0\u00a0(2) Niyama (culture),\u00a0\u00a0(3) Asana (posture), (4) Pranayama (breath-control),\u00a0\u00a0(5) Pratyahar (withdrawing the senses from their objects), (6) Dharana (meditation),\u00a0\u00a0(7) Dhyana (concentration), and\u00a0\u00a0(8) Samadhi (trance or deep absorption) (see Rajadhyaksha, 1986, pp. 97-110). The ultimate aim of practicing the eight-fold path of Yoga system is to attain Kaivalya (right knowledge). The similarity based on eight between e-learning and Yoga is thrilling. The present world badly needs Yoga with e-learning, as Toffler, in his &#8220;<i>Third Wave&#8221;<\/i>, has conceptualized the need of\u00a0&#8221; Gandhi\u00a0with satellite&#8221;.One dimension of e-learning is ethical in this article. I think we can extend this dimension as philosophical\u00a0one. My Department of Education had organized a seminar\u00a0on\u00a0\u00a0&#8220;the philosophical issues of e-learning&#8221; for teacher educators of\u00a0Gujarat\u00a0in March 2001; I realize this extension on the basis of the experience of that event.Although Khan&#8217;s article deals with the eight dimensions of\u00a0<i>e-learning,\u00a0<\/i>we can, on its basis,\u00a0<i>retrospectively\u00a0<\/i>concretize eight dimensions of traditional learning also. I really appreciate his visionary contribution.&#8221;Reference:<br \/>\nRajadhyaksha, N. D.

While I have experience managing an online program (for a small organization) this course addressed many managerial issues I had not considered or looked at from a managerial perspective. I thought Badrul Khan\u2019s eLearning Framework offered administrative and management staff a thorough and cohesive structure for managing online education.The 8 dimensions of eLearning discussed in Khan\u2019s book Managing e-Learning Strategies: Design, Delivery, Implementation, and Evaluation truly aid management staff in piecing together the process of building and maintaining and efficient and successful e-learning program.Khan (2005) said, \u201cThe seeds for the e-Learning Framework began germinating with the question: What does is take to provide the best and most meaningful flexible learning environments for learners worldwide?\u201dBy using Khan\u2019s framework I have learned that each dimension of the framework plays a vital role in the management process. Without one piece the program\u2019s quality could diminish. With that said, an e-learning program without a structured management team will not succeed in the long run. This course taught me about the importance of management and how in some respects, they are the roots to the e-learning tree. Without the roots, a tree cannot survive. Without a management team, an e-learning program might be able to sustain for a minimal time but it will not excel much further.Reference:Khan, B. (2005).
