BNET Business Dictionary
Business Definition for: E-learning
- the facilitation of learning through the Internet or an intranet. E-learning is a development from computer-based training and consists of self-contained learning materials and resources that can be used at the pace and convenience of the learner. An e-learning package normally incorporates some form of test that can demonstrate how much an e-learner has assimilated from a course, as well as some form of monitoring to enable managers to check the use of the system of e-learning. Successful e-learning depends largely on the self-motivation of individuals to study effectively. Because it is Internet-based, it has excellent potential to respond to a company's rapidly changing needs and offer new learning opportunities relevant to a company's new position very quickly.
- Also known as Electronic Learning
