With the development in ICT, eLearning which is the new paradigm of learning and teaching has become the part and parcel of education programmes in all sectors of life. With the development in Agricultural Science and technology, the need for improved agricultural education throughout the world has also been realized. Quality Education in Agriculture is a service that contributes to national development, integration and regional cohesion. But compared to other business and management fields, eLearning in the field of agriculture is still in the early phases of development and adoption. In this direction, an eLearning system “ eLearn Agriculture â€ was designed and developed at IASRI, New Delhi, which is available online at http://elearnagri.iasri.res.in/home. The system has been tested and validated by deploying the sample courses from Agricultural Statistics and Computer Applications. Each course has been distributed into well defined topics with each topic having the online features of glossary, interactive lessons, multimedia enabled presentations, quiz and assignments. The features of this system includes the separate modules for teachers, learners, evaluators and administrator with the facility of an equation editor for mathematical equations and Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) for multimedia enabled course contents. The open source Learning Management System, MOODLE has been used for creating the eLearning documents, management of contents and users. The modular nature of MOODLE has been used in this system to add the new features such as an equation editor, frequently required mathematical symbols and a new user interface. The system provides an opportunity to the agricultural educationists to create and link their course contents online. This paper presents the technology behind this system along with the content standardization scheme and the common template followed for creating the courses
