I know it is difficult but I am a firm believer of Impossible is nothing! So I am taking the plunge to answer this question. IMHO e-Learning is a term that describes learning done at a computer, usually connected to a network and/or internet giving us the opportunity to learn almost anytime, anywhere.
I don’t distinguish between e-Learning and any other form of education. E-Learning is as rich and as valuable as the classroom experience and in some cases even more…
Just like in the physical classroom world instructional design (ID) is important its even more so in the e-Learning world. ID has been perfected and refined over the past few decades for e-Learning using established teaching principles and making learning/education student centric. This is the reason why we are seeing a trend of colleges, universities, businesses and organizations world-wide offering their students fully accredited online degree, vocational and continuing education programs.
E-Learning is frequently interchanged with the following terms:
- Online learning
- Online education
- Distance education
- Distance learning
- Technology-based training
- Web-based training
- Computer-based training (CD-ROM)
