In the world of eLearning, HTML5 is being hailed as the wave of the future. Since HTML5 is the new standard, eLearning professionals must get on board and begin exhausting it to collaborate with other professionals and eLearning content developers. Businesses and educational institutions in quest of online training will progressively choose HTML5 courses over Flash because of the incredible compatibility opportunities and ease of authoring, which means they'll be searching for eLearning practitioners who are familiar with HTML5 resources. For the reason of its high degree of interactivity, immersive visuals, and engaging animations, Adobe Flash was once one of the most common authoring resources for eLearning courses. HTML5, a mobile-friendly option, is becoming the new choice among eLearning professionals, as fewer smartphones and tablets will support Flash. However, the support for the Flash player has been discontinued by Adobe by the end of 2020, for most of the online platforms. And hence it is high time for the eLearning content developers and educators to think about the latest trends in education technology. Interactive Multimedia based authoring for eLearning will be very versatile if done using HTML5. This research paper reviews requirements and implementation of such eLearning tools for Online Teaching and Learning. This is especially needed in situations like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic when most of the schools and higher education institutions have moved to adapt eLearning and online mode of teaching and learning.

E-learning is the best way of getting knowledge at present especially when it comes to distant education. E-learning is a computer-based educational system that allows you to learn in any place at any time. Earlier e-learning solutions were delivered on CDROMs but nowadays, an online platform is making easier ways for such implementation in terms of scalability as well as usability. Online courses such a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), which is a way of delivering the content of learning online for any person with easy access from any part of the World is becoming much more popular for certification courses. This research paper focuses on the requirements of such implementation as a part of teaching and learning strategy in one of the higher education institutions in Oman. The existing system in these days is Moodle which is one of the Virtual Learning Environments. Through Moodle, teachers are sharing many eLearning based tools with students. It is based on PowerPoint in Moodle learning and different activities on papers. The methodology used in this project is a mixed methodology – quantitative and qualitative, which includes a questionnaire to get more opinions from different people about this research and there also interviews. The study is performed in context to one of the leading private higher education institutions (HEI) in Oman. The proposed research will suggest a new E-Learning application, especially for some practical modules. Based on the above study, researchers have a plan to propose a new framework and solution for practical modules in HEI especially with the integration of MOOC. The large scale implementation of the proposed research and its solution will be on a cloud, in order to provide easy access along with scalability.
