Definition of E learning

1. Education via the Internet, network, or standalone computer. e-learning is essentially the network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge. e-learning refers to using electronic applications and processes to learn. e-learning applications and processes include Web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classrooms and digital collaboration. Content is delivered via the Internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM.*

e-learning was first called "Internet-Based training" then "Web-Based Training" Today you will still find these terms being used, along with variations of e-learning such as elearning, Elearning, and eLearning.

2 e-Learning is the use of technology to enable people to learn anytime and anywhere. e-Learning can include training, the delivery of just-in-time information and guidance from experts.

3. No single e-learning method is best for every learning need. You will most likely need to use several e-learning technologies as well as traditional learning methods. A blended learning program combines e-learning and traditional learning methods. Blended learning can provide the convenience, speed and cost effectiveness of e-learning with the personal touch of traditional learning.

4. Allison Rossett (2001) defines elearning as: Web-based training (WBT), also known as elearning and on-line learning, is training that resides on a server or host computer that is connected to the World Wide Web.

She considers WBT or elearning as belonging to Technology-Based Training -- training that is delivered partially or entirely through electronic hardware, software, or both (p. 161).

These two definitions are perhaps come the closest as to how most learning professionals define elearning.

Another one that pretty much stays within the "network" framework" is Clark Adrich (2004). He defines elearning as a broad combination of processes, content, and infrastructure to use computers and networks to scale and/or improve one or more significant parts of a learning value chain, including management and delivery. Originally aimed at lowering management cost while increasing accessibility and for measurability of employees, elearning is increasingly being used to include advanced learning techniques such as simulations and communities of practice and to include customers and vendors as well.

5. There may be other definitions, but I define e-learning (also called elearning or eLearning) as: The delivery of a learning, training or education program by electronic means. E-learning involves the use of a computer or electronic device (e.g. a mobile phone) in some way to provide training, educational or learning material. (Derek Stockley 2003) E-learning can involve a greater variety of equipment than online training or education, for as the name implies, "online" involves using the Internet or an Intranet. CD-ROM and DVD can be used to provide learning materials. Distance education provided the base for e-learning's development. E-learning can be "on demand". It overcomes timing, attendance and travel difficulties. An e-journey is one type of e-learning or online training. Blended learning is e-learning combined with other training methods.

My way of understanding of E learning..

Learning by technology supported education. Described an online computer-delivered lecture learning experience that uses a wide spectrum of technologies, mainly Internet or computer-based, to reach learners.
