A working definition on this helps to focus thoughts, for example:
"Electronic learning (or e-Learning or eLearning) is a type of education where the medium of instruction is computer technology."

In a Company context training done on an Intranet comprises elearning . In a University context students will do online study of programmes with little if any traditional face-to-face engagement with tutors and lecturers. Elearning may use differennt technologies to faciliate distance learning as well.
Currently the main technology medium used in delivering elearning is Internet or computer-based multimedia technologies. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elearning
