I was happy to see that one of the more complete pages in our wiki is the Definitions page (here). Whether we are talking about elearning or learning with an “E” slant, I believe, as a group, we must hammer out a definition of elearning – or at least a statement about what we feel elearning encompasses. If only for this moment of time, from our particular group.
Although I can generally agree with 10 statements from Mark Nichols and our use of the CCL definition of elearning, I'd like to propose a slight change to Mark Bullen's Elearning continuum. In the attached image, I have included video conferencing, audio cassettes and TV under elearning as well as distance education while I have moved 'print' under just distance education.
Even in its purest sense, I believe elearning can include these technologies and the CCL definition seems to support this thinking... what do others think?

P.S. … and slightly off-topic, here… Can we stop adding my name to the mindmap? We now have others adding/editing/altering (Glen, for instance) which is what is supposed to happen. It really is a collective thing produced from everyone’s presentations, postings and text-chats.
