Summary:This paper discuss the novel implementation of Learner Centered Design Approach of E-learning System using 3D Virtual Tutors [1] and further enhances this work in facilitating young learners to interact with human tutors using WebRTC Based Multimedia Chat system. The present work adds three main features such as: Firstly, addition of live video lecture session by which students can interact with the tutor just like video call of Skype system. Secondly, the presentation of 3D virtual tutors' narrations of articles in the text form of live transcriptions of avatars' speech. Thirdly, introduction of timed quiz by which a real-life objective examination can be mimicked and thereby evaluating the performance of students. Lastly, we present a comparative evaluation of the original system and its improved version with respect to responses received from a large pool of young learners using the system.
