The Ministry of Education defines e-Learning as learning that is enabled or supported with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT).

e-Learning typically involves some form of interactivity, including online interaction between the learner and their teacher or peers. e-Learning opportunities are usually accessed via the Internet and its associated tools and software. However e-Learning is evolving to include an increasing use of a wide and diverse range of other technologies and tools. These include video and audio conferencing, mobile phones, data projectors, digital cameras, global positioning systems and interactive whiteboards.

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.”

E-learning (or eLearning) is the use of electronic media, educational technology and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. E-learning includes numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video, and includes technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape, satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computer-based learning, as well as local intranet/extranet and web-based learning. Information and communication systems, whether free-standing or based on either local networks or the Internet in networked learning, underlie many e-learning processes.

You can use e-learning in outside classroom as well as using it in classroom. e-learning is suitable for distance learning.

# data[].attributes.headline
e-learning (Distance learning), is a formalized teaching and learning system 
specifically designed to be carried out remotely by using electronic 
communication. Because distance learning is less expensive to support 
and is not constrained by geographic considerations, it offers 
opportunities in situations where traditional education has difficulty 
operating. Students with scheduling or distance problems can benefit, as
 can employees, because distance education can be more flexible in terms
 of time and can be delivered virtually anywhere.

Wikipedia said that, E-learning can occur in or out of the classroom. It can be self-paced, asynchronous learning or may be instructor-led, synchronous learning.

E-learning is here defined as interactive learning in which the learning content is available online and provides automatic feedback to the student’s learning activities. Online communication with real people may or may not be included, but the focus of e-learning isusually more on the learning content than on communication between learners and tutors.

Unfortunately, the term e-learning is often used as a more generic term and as a synonym foronline education. Kaplan-Leiserson has developed an online e-learning glossary, whichprovides this definition:

E-learning: Covers a wide set of applications and processes, such as Web-based learning,computer-based learning, virtual classrooms, and digital collaboration. It includes thedelivery of content via Internet, intranet/extranet (LAN/WAN), audio- and videotape,satellite broadcast, interactive TV, and CD-ROM.

The term e-learning is not very precise, and it should be pointed out that learning is just oneelement of education. So, the term online education should cover a much broader range ofservices than the term e-learning. One may also claim that e-learning companies often focuson course content, while online education institutions cover the whole range of educationalservices.

Nichols (2003) who define e-Learning as strictly being accessible using technological tools that are either web-based, web-distributed, or web-capable. The belief that e-Learning not only covers content and instructional methods delivered via CD-ROM, the Internet or an Intranet (Benson et al., 2002; Clark, 2002) but also includes audio- and videotape, satellite broadcast and interactive TV is the one held by Ellis. Tavangarian et al. (2004) included the constructivist theoretical model as a framework for their definition by stating that e-Learning is not only procedural but also shows some transformation of an individual's experience into the individual's knowlege through the knowledge construction process. Triacca et al. (2004) added that e-Learning was a type of online learning.

"eLearning is learning utilizing electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom.  In most cases, it refers to a course, program or degree delivered completely online. "There are many terms used to describe learning that is delivered online, via the internet, ranging from Distance Education, to computerized electronic learning, online learning, internet learning and many others. We define eLearning as courses that are specifically delivered via the internet to somewhere other than the classroom where the professor is teaching. It is not a course delivered via a DVD or CD-ROM, video tape or over a television channel. It is interactive in that you can also communicate with your teachers, professors or other students in your class. Sometimes it is delivered live, where you can “electronically” raise your hand and interact in real time and sometimes it is a lecture that has been prerecorded. There is always a teacher or professor interacting /communicating with you and grading your participation, your assignments and your tests. eLearning has been proven to be a successful method of training and education is becoming a way of life for many citizens in North Carolina."

Quite simply, e-learning is electronic learning, and typically this means using a computer to deliver part, or all of a course whether it's in a school, part of your mandatory business training or a full distance learning course.

In the early days it received a bad press, as many people thought bringing computers into the classroom would remove that human element that some learners need, but as time has progressed technology has developed, and now we embrace smartphones and tablets in the classroom and office, as well as using a wealth of interactive designs that makes distance learning not only engaging for the users, but valuable as a lesson delivery medium.

e-learning is a kind of learning which combines electronic media and the use of internet. It depends on students' needs and purpose(s) of the course. Teacher should also consider the facility and situation. If it is not possible to do the e-learning, s/he could use the E-learning in which teachers make use of electronic devices as the media, for example using taped material instead of shared material uploaded in the internet. Added to this, Edmundson states that e-learning is an integration of communication technologies and the Internet (Edmundson, 2007, p.19).

However e-Learning is evolving to include an increasing use of a wide and diverse range of other technologies and tools. These include video and audio conferencing, mobile phones, data projectors, digital cameras, global positioning systems and interactive whiteboards.

E-Learning is no longer associated just with distance learning, but is about using relevant technologies as part of a suite of approaches to provide the best and most appropriate ways of supporting learners’ engagement and achievement. E-Learning offers teachers’ new approaches to teaching that overcome barriers of distance and time. This provides expanded opportunities for learning beyond the classroom, and provides for more varied and deeper learning.

There may be other definitions, but Derek defines e-learning (also called elearning or eLearning) as:
The delivery of a learning, training or education program by electronic means. E-learning involves the use of a computer or electronic device (e.g. a mobile phone) in some way to provide training, educational or learning material. (Derek Stockley 2003)

E-learning can involve a greater variety of equipment than online training or education, for as the name implies, "online" involves using the Internet or an Intranet. CD-ROM and DVD can be used to provide learning materials.

Distance education provided the base for e-learning's development. E-learning can be "on demand". It overcomes timing, attendance and travel difficulties.

An e-journey is one type of e-learning or online training. Blended learning is e-learning combined with other training methods.

E-learning (or ‘electronic’ learning) may be defined as ‘learning that is delivered, enabled or mediated using electronic technology for the explicit purpose of training, learning or development in organisations’.

While there is no universally accepted definition, the characterisation adopted here can be described as an inclusive definition: it includes the use of distributed technology products (such as CD-ROMs) that do not require the user’s computer to be connected to a network. An exclusive definition would exclude these products and include only learning delivered through the Internet or an intranet (which approach could be termed ‘online’ learning). The term e-learning first emerged around the turn of the century although, if distributed technology products are included, it could be argued that e-learning stretches back several decades.
