e-Learning is an alternative method of delivering and receiving education and training.  It is alternative in the sense that it is quite different from the traditional, instructor led, classroom environment that we are most familiar with.  The term “e-Learning” encompasses a wide range of educational experiences and practices.  Instructional content may be delivered through a wide array of methods including: CD or DVD-ROM, the Internet, audio and videotape, television or satellite broadcast, video conferencing, or on an internal network (intranet).  The content can include text, audio, video, animation, simulations, and Virtual Reality (VR) applications.  e-Learning is student-centered, self-paced, hands-on learning.  e-Learning can provide an exciting and highly effective learning experience that can go beyond the level of education and training you might experience in a classroom.
