E-learning (short for electronic learning) is a method of delivering education or training through digital technologies instead of traditional face-to-face classroom settings.

It usually happens over the internet and can include:

  • Online courses (web-based lessons, modules, or tutorials)

  • Virtual classrooms (live teaching sessions through video conferencing)

  • Multimedia content (videos, animations, podcasts, simulations)

  • Interactive activities (quizzes, discussion forums, games)

  • Learning management systems (LMS) that track progress and performance

Key features of e-learning:

  • Accessible anytime, anywhere (flexible learning)

  • Self-paced or instructor-led

  • Often cheaper and faster than traditional training

  • Can include certificates or qualifications

👉 In simple terms: E-learning is learning through computers, tablets, or phones, using the internet or digital media.
