Introduction
With the introduction of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure to most of the rural areas, life has changed for rural communities.
In a developing country like the Philippines where the digital divide is more the rule than the exception, delivering instruction through the distance mode presents a significant challenge to educators.

 E-learning is to increase accessibility of

education and reducing costs and time as well as improving students performance.

Communication between and among students can also be

facilitated by mobile phone technology.

Through e-learning ICT delivers sufficient knowledge-

intensive management skills to people in rural communities, which in turn, can help other people access the information and skills they need for better management.
