What Is
e-Learning?
You can find nearly as
many definitions of e-Learning as you can people willing to
pontificate about any major industry, perhaps because learning is
becoming so important to so many. The following are a few of the
definitions of e-Learning:
e-Learning is the convergence of
learning and the Internet. – Banc of America Securities
e-Learning is the use of network
technology to design, deliver, select, administer, and extend
LEARNING. – Elliott Masie, The Masie Center
We define e-Learning companies as
those that leverage various Internet and Web technologies to
create, enable, deliver, and/or facilitate lifelong learning. –
Robert Peterson, Piper Jaffray
e-Learning is Internet-enabled
learning. Components can include content delivery in multiple
formats, management of the learning experience, and a networked
community of learners, content developers and experts. e-Learning
provides faster learning at reduced costs, increased access to
learning, and clear accountability for all participants in the
learning process. In today's fast-paced culture, organizations
that implement e-Learning provide their work force with the
ability to turn change into an advantage. – Cisco Systems
