By , About.com Guide   May 11, 2009

Follow me on:

e-Learning, or electronic learning, is any type of educational instruction that occurs through the internet. Whenever you watch a training video online, participate in an academic discussion board, or enroll in a virtual class, you’re engaged in e-learning.

If you're new to the world of virtual education, this article will walk you through the basics and answer common questions such as:
  • What is e-learning?
  • What are the common types of e-learning?
  • How can I get started with e-learning?
You'll also find links to help you begin your e-learning journey, whether you want to participate in corporate training, earn an online degree, or simply take a virtual course for personal enrichment.
