The Ministry of Education defines e-Learning as learning that is enabled or supported with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). e-Learning typically involves some form of interactivity, including online interaction between the learner and their teacher or peers. e-Learning opportunities are usually accessed via the Internet and its associated tools and software. However e- Learning is evolving to include an increasing use of a wide and diverse range of other technologies and tools. These include video and audio conferencing, mobile phones, data projectors, digital cameras, global positioning systems and interactive whiteboards. What is e-Learning? 5 mins
