eLearning...is what exactly?

The term eLearning is an interesting one.  For a start I couldn't even decide how to spell it as it changes depending on who and what you read. I went for eLearning, like the iPad iPod thing really.  Anyway back to the important stuff.  ELWa suggest eLearning is ' the use of electronic technology to support, enhance or deliver learning'. I would challenge that a little further though an insist that the enhancement needs to include, engagement too. So eLearning is the use of electronic technology to engage the learner and enhance the learning.

This Prezi is demonstrates some excellent issues involved with the whole eLearning process and highlights some of the important aspects that we as educators need to address.
