Defining Elearning the 2nd

After discussing the positve and negative sides of Elearning, our 2nd task is now to find a few definitions of Elearning. 

Beside the one taken from wikipedia, which I posted last week, I found another definition on a British Elearning-webside: 

e-Learning can be defined as ‘learning facilitated and supported through the use of information and communications technology’. It can cover a spectrum of activities from the use of technology to support learning as part of a ‘blended’ approach (a combination of traditional and e-learning approaches), to learning that is delivered entirely online. Whatever the technology, however, learning is the vital element.

Additionally I found an interesting webside of an E-learning online journal: www.ejel.org

And to return the focus on the topic of a definition of E-learning consider this side:
