In this study we investigated the challenges of e-teaching in Higher Educational Institutions. With
the advent of e-Learning tools, role of teachers have gone through phenomenal changes and teachingcommunity
is struggling hard to tune up with contemporary requirements of mundane teaching modes called
‘e-Teaching.’ Research indicates that teachers hold different perceptions about the role of technology:
behaviorist (instrumental) and constructivist (substantive). Behaviorists assert on the visible aspects of learning
with no value-implications for society while constructivists emphases more on the intellectual progress of the
learner and community. Whatever the paradigm, teachers are confronting multiple barriers in adopting newteaching
styles including demographic differences, training problems and resistance to change etc.
Key words: e-Courses, e-Maturity, e-Pedagogy, e-Teaching, net-genres, paradigm-shifts,
