Learning can be defined as the acquisition or modification of knowledge and skills, which can be explained in various perspectives depending on how it occurs in a specific context or environment. Hence, eLearning is a learning process, which specifically occurs in virtual learning environments.

eLearning is the broad umbrella term that covers the use of electronic tools and technology in teaching and learning. ELearning incorporates many different aspects of technology in education and includes things such as information and communication technology (ICT), LMS’s, MOOCS, VLE’s, PLE’s and multimedia learning. Barclay (2001) argues that elearning technologies have changed the way that both learning and teaching is being conducted across the broad educational landscape. It is Barclay’s (2001) opinion that these changing educational paradigms are eroding the traditional dominance of instructional classroom learning and changing the way that people view educational pedagogies across the board. The origins of the term ‘eLearning’ according to Luskin (2003), is debatable. The ‘e’ in ‘eLearning’ could it is argued, stand for more than electronic. Luskin (2003) recommended that a broader perspective should be considered. The ‘e’ for example, could stand for other things such as: exciting, energetic, emotional or educational.
