eLearning?What is that exactly?
What is the difference between IT, ICT and eLearning?
• Information Technology refers to the lowest level of involvement in the use of computer technology.
• Information Communications Technology - equipment is networked together allowing communication with others on the network and in the outside world via e-mail and the internet.
• eLearning is the application of IT/ICT to the core business of education.
Do we agree?

• The use of technology empowers learning, widens access and enables learning to take place in ways that suit the needs of individual learners.
