My personal definition of elearning is any learning done where the learner uses solely technology to learn, without the traditional pen and paper. There are different levels, the one we are using now is a quite mild type of elearning, contrasted with the extreme type of elearning where there is no face-to-face interaction with a teacher or fellow students at all.
Nowadays elearning is used very widely, as can be seen from many students accessing their lecture notes through their laptops in lecture theatres. I would rather type out my own thoughts than blindly copy and paste definitions from random websites as I'm sure you'll encounter a lot, so hopefully this will be a refreshing change.
Despite the numerous benefits I still prefer traditional forms of learning, but it is clear that both types of learning can cohabit peacefully, and ultimately it is up to the student to decide which is ideal for his or her learning style.
