The demand to acquire knowledge or to learn has risen, thus, the present technology had gone a long way to provide means to learn, irrespective of the distance or the location of the e-learner and source of information. This is achieved through electronic sharing of information and virtual classroom. However, virtual classroom and text based e-learning is a system designed to help students gain access and acquire knowledge in any university of their choice. This method of learning will enhance face-to-face instruction, use of computer in classrooms and elicitation of information with the World Wide Web (WWW), enhanced distance education. Individual and group learning with both print and computer based materials. With all these, virtual classroom and text based e-learning knowledge is moving towards every student and staff of Mountain Top University (for instance) being an e-learner at least for part of their study, this could be through learning materials, e-mails contacting tutors or submitting assignment, the use of website for research or any one of the myriad e-learning applications. Thus, students or staff must not travel abroad to acquire knowledge. This project has some unique features such as a simplified way of which study materials can be distributed evenly among students, also allowing the teachers to give quizzes and also allows for easy communication between teachers and students. The outcome of this project is flexible and can easily be adapted to by almost every teacher and student.
