ANTA2003b (2003,p. 5) claimed

“E-learning is a broader concept [than online learning], encompassing a wide set of applications and processes which use all available electronic media to deliver vocational education and training more flexibly. The term “e-learning” is now used in the Framework to capture the general intent to support a broad range of electronic media (Internet, intranets, extranets, satellite broadcast, audio/video tape, interactive TV and CD-ROM) to make vocational learning more flexible for clients.”

FlexibleLearning Advisory Group (2004) stated that Blended Learning is a combination of different learning environments. This can mean also blending methods, techniques or resources and applying them in an interactively meaningful learning environment .

ANTA2003a (2003) claim

“Flexible learning expands choice on what, when, where and how people learn. It supports different styles of learning, including e-learning. Flexibility means anticipating, and responding to, the ever-changing needs and expectations of VET clients - enterprises learners and communities.”

medical dictionary stated that computer-based learning is an interactive instrcutioal approach in which the computer takes the place of an instructor providing information and question or exercises, as well as feedback to the student's response ( 2009).

E-learning now plays a significant role in learning and teaching process in order that it is new education concept for teachers and students.

E-learning is the integration of learning and teaching by using a computer. (NRW Medien Gmbh, 2003) However, if we think of the word "e-learning", Internet will get surely involved according to Rosenberg (2001). It is all sort of software to support learners' knowledge. (Maier-Hafele. 2001). Futhermore, Henry (2001) stated that e-learning is suitable tool of the Internet to support the learners.

To sum up, e-learning is accociated with learning and teaching system via the computer. It helps the learners gain the new body of knowledgewith a modern media. Also, the learners can learn anytime and it provides the digital contents. for us.

My definition of E-learning is adopted from Naidu, S 

 

E-learning is the use of the Information and Communication Technology to transfer

 

the data from the teachers to the learners. There are a lot of words used to explain this

 

 pedagogy approach such as online learning, virtual learning, distributed learning, network

 

and web-based learning. Basically, all of them are the methods of the education that use

 

technology of communication and information to create new choices of pedagogy activities.

 

After check carefully, these terminologies are not directly refer to this method, unlike the

 

word e-learning.

For me, many time I study English through films, video, online. I think all of them are my E-

learning because those information can transfer via electronic devices.

My definition of e-learning is adopted from Derek Stockley (2003). E-learning is learning and teaching in various styles which transferred the information via the electronic media such as CD-ROM, internet network, intranet or satellite etc. Learners can learn from a computer or electronic device.

"E- Learning is the delivery of a learning, training, or education program by eletronic, typically, e-learning involves the using of the media such as computer, internet, wireless, mobile, tape, CD-Rom, those media can enable people to learn anytime and anywhere, faster and convenience" (Derek Stockley 2003)

E-learning: is a form of teaching and learning that teachers do not give information to learners directly, but through some technology tools as a media. There are several tools that can be used in e-learning such as; CD players, televisions, computers, the Internet, satellites, radios, and etc. This kind of learning can be adjusted and adapted quite freely therefore we can see many forms of e-learning. As it is quite flexible, it is difficult to say definitely what e-learning is.

(fortunately, Aj. John's subject,advanced academic writing, taught me how to type verbosely to raise the word count....LoL)

E-learning is the way we teach and learn which is supported by electronic devices such as computer CD-ROM,web technology, internet, intranet, satellite etc.This definition is adopted from ผศ.ดร.ถนอมพร (ตันพิพัฒน์) เลาหจรัสแสง

E-learning defined as the way that people teach and learn by using electronic sources.

Online learning defined as the way people learn through online sources such as learning through websites.

Distance learning defined as the way that teachers and learners learning without classes or they are not being in the same place.

Computer based learning defined as the way that people learn and teach through computer source. Can be learning with both online and off line way.

Web based learning defined as the way learners and teachers use websites for teaching and learning. Such as, teachers will post the lessons or assignment in the class website for students to learning.

Internet based learning defined as the way learners and teachers learn and teach through internet sources.

Blended learning defined as the way teachers teach by using mixed method or teachers teach student in more than one way such as, teaching in class and then another week teaching through websites.

Flexible learning defined as the way teachers and learners adapt teaching way with electronic sources or other sources to use in class.

Virtual learning defined as the way learners learn and teach by using online class room which have everything real like in the real class room but in online version.

My definition is adopted form many researchers. Schank(2000), Roffe(2002), Sambrook(2003) and Tsai&Machado(2002) give the definition of E-learning is “communication and learning activities through computers and networks (or via electronic means”.While Fry (2000) gives more specific definition about E-learning as “delivery of training and education via networked interactivity and a rage of other knowledge collectin and distribution technologies.” The letter E before the word “learning” stands for electronic so the word E-learning in my opinion mean learning through the use of electronic or technology such as online network and computers.
