E-Learning

The term "E-learning" has been used interchangeably in a variety of contexts. Broadly defined, it is a mode of education where the medium of instruction is computer technology. While businesses perceive e-learning as the strategies that use the company network to deliver training modules to employees in a way that is devoid of in-person interaction; it is described in academic environments as a specific mode for students to run a course/programme of study online without having physical on-campus learning.

Specifically, E-Learning can be referred to as " the effective learning process created by combining digitally delivered content with (learning) support and services." or " the use of internet technologies to deliver a broad array of solutions that enhance knowledge and performance".
