E-learning has numerous definitions. Below is the definition that I found on Wikipedia. I have also posted my own definition of e-learning.
Defenition of E-learning (from Wikipedia)
E-learning is a term that encompasses all forms of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) or very specific types of TEL such as online or web-based learnig. Nevertheless, the term does ont have a universally accepted definition and there are divides in the e-learning industry about whether a technology-enhanced system can be called e-learning if there is no set pedagogy some argue e-learning is: "pedagogy empowered by digital technology".
The term e-learning is ambigious to those outside the e-learning industry, and even within its diverse disciplines it has differet meanings to different people. For instance in companies, it often refers to the strategies that use the ecompany network to deliver training courses to employees and lately in most universities, e-learning is used to define a specific mode to attend a course or program of study where the students rarely or never meet face-to-face, nor access on-campus educational facilities, because they study online.
My E-learning definition/view
Electronical learning is a growing part of today's knowledge building. Basically it can be seen as the presentation and distribution of all types of education via digital media (such as our own INHolland Blackboard). Moreover it can be used for the interpersonal communication and correspondence at any given time and therefore it is an advantage when it comes to our contemporary economy (with traditional methods). As far as the personal 'face-to-face' interaction is concerned e-learning certainly drifts education into anonymity. This might be an advantage for some if you think about the classroom nightmare when being asked and you don't have an answer. Since e-learning can be done in three levels (see the three aspects of 'Learning') it always depends on the individual if he or she stays anonymous.
*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 learnings methods. A blended learning program combines e-learning a traditional learning methods. Blended learning give us the convenience, speed and (cost) effectiveness of e-learning with the personal touch of traditional learning.
