What is E-Learning?
I think that we already know what "learning
means," but what is the "e"? The e stands for
electronic, so in its simplest sense, e-learning is any learning that is
facilitated by electronic means. This has come to mean the same thing as
computer-based training (CBT), and would include CD-ROM, web-enabled, and
Internet learning.
In the spirit of being a portal, here are some
other definitions of e-learning:
American
Society for Training and Development ASTD "E-Learning
refers to anything delivered, enabled, or mediated by electronic technology for
the explicit purpose of learning. The term includes online learning,
web-based learning, and computer-based training. It excludes things that might
fit under "distance learning" BUT are non-electronic, such as books. It also
includes learner-to-learner interactions, as occur in our online learning
community."
