E-content is a Comprehensive package of teaching material put into hypermedia format. Hypermedia is multimedia with internet deplorability. E-content can not be created by a teaching faculty alone . It needs the role of teacher, Video editor, production assistants, web developers (HTML 5 or Adobe captivate, etc). Analyze the learner needs and goals of the instructional material development, development of a delivery system and content, pilot study of the material developed, implementation, evaluating, refining the materials etc. In designing and development of E-content we have to adopt one of the instructional design models based on our requirements.

What is
groundwater
Groundwater contamination is the process
of polluting the groundwater resources.
Th f p ll t nt l ft b th d tigroundwater
contamination?
The surface pollutants left by the domestic,
agricultural and industrial activities will be
dissolved by rain water. This effluent is
called as a leachate. It infiltrates into the
ground through the top soil layer and
reaches the saturated zone. During this
transport, the pollutants may be adsorbed
onto the subsurface materials or may be
subjected to chemical reactions or
biological degradation. It mixes with theg d g d
groundwater resource very quickly and
starts moving along with it. It involves
many aqueous geochemical processes like
dispersion and advection. The major
characteristics of chemicals whichcharacteristics of chemicals which
influence groundwater contamination are
solubility, equilibrium vapour pressure and
Partition coefficient.
