E-learning is to training what e-business is to business. Using technology as an enabler and process as a framework, e-learning has the power to transform how employees and enterprises learn in the new economy where knowledge is prized and change is constant. With power comes the responsibility—placed on the enterprise and the employee—of creating a learning partnership. The enterprise needs to invest in its human capital by delivering high-quality learning experiences to employees through multiple channels. Employees need to engage with the learning that is provided with the aim of achieving a state of readiness to compete. If either partner ducks their responsibility, some learning might take place but no transformation.

E-learning means different things to different people. It’s understandable. The telephone, television, even the book all mean different things to different people. There are dictionary definitions but we prefer to define these everyday media according to how we use them—and how we use them defines how we buy them. That’s important. How you use e-learning should define how you buy e-learning.

Most definitions of e-learning you’ll encounter reflect agendas you might not share. A custom content developer talks about e-learning differently than a generic content publisher. A Learning Management System vendor influences prospective buyers to think about e-learning differently than the vendor of a content authoring tool. In the end, you need to develop your own understanding that reflects the needs of your business.

The definition:
"E-learning is the continuous assimilation of knowledge and skills by adults stimulated by synchronous and asynchronous learning events—and sometimes Knowledge Management outputs—which are authored, delivered, engaged with, supported, and administered using Internet technologies."
