ICT isn't merely changing chalk for mouse and blackboard for screen

• What do 'distance learning', 'online learning' and 'e-Learning' mean to you?

Distance learning is learning away from any educational center using any communication means, ie, snail mail, radio, TV, email, etc.
Online learning? The word says it! You learn online, by means of any ICT tool, elists, email, websites, forums, etc.
e-Learning means courses with special targets (for school pupils, teachers, corporation managers, factory employees, doctors, U students, etc.) to be finished in a fixed time, with a definite purpose and curriculum, taught online.

Definitely distance learning is a way of living, I think it'll be very hard for me nowadays to study at a brick and mortar university or school.
