Podcast #1 - What is e-learning? - 1 of 2

There are as many definitions of e-learning as there are e-learners! On the face of it it's simple: we've got the 'e' part for electronic, and that's the bit that supports the learning. But just because you've got technology doesn't mean you've got learning. It takes a little bit more than that.

We all know that if you want a great meal what you need are great ingredients, and a great chef - the oven and tools simply enable them both to work their magic. So what ingredients do we have at our disposal to make e-learning? And what are the basic cooking skills we need to put them together to make some great e-learning?

Our e-learning '101' should shed some light.

Just found your podcast and listened to episode 1 (both parts) over the weekend. Great summary of eLearning. Being an eLearning department of one, it's great to hear people talk about issues and questions in the field.
