eLearning

●The meaning of the letter ‘e’ is vast and encompasses many fields – from astronomy to video games. Used in technology, ‘e’ means electronic. E-learning, then, is e-(lectronic) learning, just as

●e-mail is e-(lectronic) mail. The ‘e’ represents the means by which we receive or access learning –

●electronically, typically on the Web (online) via a Web browser. This ‘e’ has been described as the

●‘how’ and the ‘learning content’ the ‘what’ (Clark & Mayer, 2003).

eLearning is learning utilizing electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom. In most cases, it refers to a course, program or degree delivered completely online.

●E-Learning is the instruction that is delivered electronically, in part or wholly – via a Web browser, through the Internet or an intranet, or through multimedia platforms such as CD-ROM or DVD (Hall, 1997).

●2. E-Learning is a structured, purposeful use of the electronic systems or computers in support of the learning process (Allen, 2003).

●3. E-Learning covers a wide set of applications and processes, such as Web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classrooms, and digital collaboration. It includes delivering content via the Internet, intranet /extranet (LAN/WAN), audio and videotape, satellite broadcast, interactive TV, and CD-ROM (ASTD, 2001).
