Abstract The review of the related literature acquaints a researcher with the current knowledge in the field in which he/she is interested to conduct research. It provides him/her the theoretical and empirical framework from which the problem has arisen. This paper presents a review of related studies conducted in the field of e-Learning Technologies. A detailed analysis of the related literature promotes a greater understanding of the problem at hand and design of the study. It also provides a theoretical base for the research and helps the investigator to conceptualize the problem and to choose the design of the study. The researcher reviewed the literature regarding development and validation of e-content. There exists a paradox in eLearning among various institutes. Few institutions join the race, while the rest suffer from lack of knowledge or from lack of realization of the importance of eLearning. Institutes like IITs, NITs, MIT are adopting all latest technologies and are keeping their students enlightened from various parts of the world. eLearning has vast potential in India. UGC, NAAC, ICSSR, DBT, NCERT, ICHR, NEEPA, AICTE and other agencies of ISO 9000 family are pushing from various directions to bring the slow growers to walk with the rest. Thus it was felt to conduct a study on “Development and Validation of e-content on “Introduction to Extension & Communication” for Universities and Students to contribute in the area of e-learning and higher education.
