E-Learning is a learning process that is facilitated and enhanced by using digital tools such as CD-ROMs, video conferencing, websites, e-mail and many more, where the content and instruction is delivered electronically.
There you go, a brief yet simple idea and definition of E-Learning. However, there is also another description of E-Learning as well as it's definition depends on one's comprehension.
E-learning (or electronic learning or eLearning) is a term that encompasses all forms of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) or very specific types of TEL such as online or Web-based learning. Nevertheless, the term does not have a universally accepted definition[1] 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 as some argue e-learning is: "pedagogy empowered by digital technology".
The term e-learning is ambiguous to those outside the e-learning industry, and even within its diverse disciplines it has different meanings to different people [1]. For instance, in companies it often refers to the strategies that use the company 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.- From wikipedia.
To be frank, E-Learning may be considered as a new field of studies for me as i have never obtain even the basic idea of e-learning and it outcomes. Internet on the other hand is not a new thing for me, with the usage of internet as a platform to e-learning i may not have any problem in comprehending each and every topics proposed in the completion of the course. See you in the next post, peace!
