Briefly by its words, the E stands for electronic. Thus, E-learning is networked, web-based and also computer-based pedagogy. I am wondering, if I am using a computer without network connectivity, is it considered E-Learning? If it's not, which is what I agree with, then I believe in this century, the term computer-based could not further support the definition of E-learning. My reason is, we could connect to the Internet other than using computers. We can access to IVLE for instance with our cellphones or PDAs. Of course, there are some shortcomings like some models might not have the access to download files etc. but still we can exchange information, access resources, interact with others and it's providing higher mobility. I would say it is system- or technology-based rather computer-based.
