The concept of eLearning has expanded a great deal since colleges and universities started to adopt it in earnest three to five years ago. Ideas are constantly evolving, as technology, pedagogy, and student needs change.
It is useful ask the question, "What is eLearning today?"
Let's approach the answer in steps. It makes analyzing the question a bit easier, because it helps us see where changes are taking place and why ideas are evolving.

Why is it that few people relate their business life with their spiritual life? Do people feel that spiritually has no place in our commercial business world? Or is it just that we are so focused on running our business, our departments or our organizations that we feel that there is no time for such a sentimental approach to the hard tough world of business.

It's horses for courses and you'd be hard-put to win the Flemington 1200 metre sprint riding on a Clydesdale carthorse.
But that's the way some companies go about their advertising, thinking that because the solid plodder can pull a mountain of beer barrels, it must be also capable of moving nimbly. Not so.

How frequently can you email someone before you become a spammer? This is a question that has plunged Barak Obama's spinners into a dive.

While I agree with some of this philosophy, by speeding up your life you can experience more, do more, earn more, buy more etc, I do have some reservations.
Technology has brought us a vast range of timesavers. It’s the how, when and why we use them we need to question. It’s absolutely great if these time-savers do give you extra time.
