A definition of e-learning?

A definition of e-learning?

I am always amused by the way in which definitions are conceived. Organisations all over the world seem to be devoting valuable resources to the creation of their understanding of e-learning. Of course, it means different things in different contexts, but how far are we along the road to uniformity?

Closer than you think, perhaps.

With a certain amount of trepidation I tried getting a definition from Google.

You can explore these definitions yourself by simply typing

define: e-learning

into the Google search window

I think there may be a consensus appearing slowly!
