eLearning, E-learning, E-Learning or e-Learning?
Anyone know which is correct?
I agree with Jeff - no correct, or incorrect syntax here. as long as you stick with one.
Nevertheless, out of pure curiosity I searched for both terms and got the following (perhaps quite useless) info:
-
Google gives about 12,200,000 results for "elearning", and about 17,300,000 results for "e-learning". This would indicate that "e-learning" is more common than "eLearning" - unless the extra 5 million references were all coming from online discussions about the frequent misuse of "E-learning"
- In Wikipedia's entry on "E-learning", the syntax "E-learning" is used 97 times, whereas "elearning" only 10.
- It seems that offline publications about electronic/online learning prefer "elearning", whereas online articles more frequently use "E-learning".
That (results on Google)may not be the best indication of which is more common. Google's algorithms are complex and it knows that semantically, both are the same, and will show results for elearning even when you search for e-learning.
