Here is the document: http://learning.ncsa.uiuc.edu/papers/elearnlit.pdf

It is 73 pages.

Wentling (2000) sugested "Economic, social and technological forces continue to change the global economy, and the way of life in organizations and the world. In specific, these forces
have and continue to revolutionize teaching and learning in organizations. Urdan & Weggen (2000) related that technology, the rapid obsolescence of knowledge and training, the need for just-in-time training delivery, and the search for cost-effective ways to meet learning needs of a globally distributed workforce have redefined the processes that underlie design, development and delivery of training and education in the workplace. In addition, Urdan &Weggen related that the need for different learning models due to skills gap and demographic changes and demand for flexible access of lifelong learning have played upon teaching and learning. In this teaching and learning evolution, however, several terms have been attached to characterize the innovation and creation that has been occurring. Some terms are: e-learning, distributed learning, online learning, web-based learning and distance learning. The purpose of this section is twofold. First, to review and summarize definitions related to e-learning. Second, to solidify a working term and definition for the NCSA efforts." (p. 3).
