What is eLearning?What is eLearning?

• Using ICT to deliver rich curriculum content and to enable communication & collaboration between faculty, students, families &

"A lecture is the best way to get information from the professor's notebook into the student's notebook without being absorbed by their brain . . .

Interactivity is what differentiates an effective online course from a high-tech correspondence course”

-- Bill Pelz, 2003 winner of the Award for Excellence in Online Teaching
