eLearning, E-learning, E-Learning or e-Learning?
Hi Jeff,
We always use "eLearning"
The rationale goes like this: small 'e' denotes electronic (etc: web/online, basically not paper based).
The other 8 letters should be what we are all trying to achieve "Learning"
Hence the approach to eLearning (the term is long in the tooth now) is mainly about Learning, 8 letters to 1. The "e" about the delivery technology... which of course will always change...
PS:
I previously worked in educational institute that spent many hours debating the most suitable syntax of the word eLearning, E-learning or e-Learning....only educational facility would waste meetings on such a benign topic.
PPS:
As the internet was starting up (yes that old) - I also worked for a manager (same institution) who had monthly meetings for a year to the determine if the Internet was going to be a worthwhile education tool...........<rolling eyes>
Anyway, hope it helps
Cheers
Garry
