What’s e-learning?‘learning facilitated and supported through

the use of information and communications technology…technology-enhanced learning’ (HEFCW 2008) http://www.hefcw.ac.uk/Publications/circulars_5137.htm

fundamentally about learning and not about technology

“A powerful addition to a person’s stock of mental tools. Nothing is given up in return”. (Seymour Papert, Mindstorms, 2nd ed. 1993)
