 * e-learning**

Definition:
e-Learning. eLearning. "e"learning. However you write it, definitions abound. The convergence of the Internet and learning, or Internet-enabled learning. The use of network technologies to create, foster, deliver, and facilitate learning, anytime and anywhere. The delivery of individualized, comprehensive, dynamic learning content in real time, aiding the development of communities of knowledge, linking learners and practitioners with experts. A phenomenon delivering accountability, accessibility, and opportunity to allow people and organizations to keep up with the rapid changes that define the Internet world. A force that gives people and organizations the competitive edge to allow them to keep ahead of the rapidly changing global economy. With good design and delivery, e-learning does all these things. But, at its heart, it is, simply, learning. Too bad most interpretations focus on the technology (the "e") and not on the learning.
