Talk:E-learning

Page title
The lowercase hyphenated form, e-learning, is the correct word form. Thus our Teflpedia page title for this topic is E-learning. For marketing reasons, some product names drop the hyphen and use camel case instead, eg European Commission eLearning Programme, while nevertheless using the correct word form, "e-learning," within their descriptive text. The "e-learning" form is furthermore used in the Wikipedia article on e-learning. --Roger 16:50, 21 March 2012 (CDT)
 * Beg to differ as to the "correct" form, but won't press my point - except to highlight the fact that Wikipedia, for several reasons, is definitely not a reliable source (and that even within the cited article, several forms are used...). On the other hand, in the work I've just included in the bibliography section of this article, published in The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, MacDonald, an authority on the subject, uses e-Learning. Likewise, I keep coming across references to e-Education all over the place. The bottom line is that neologisms don't necessarily have to adopt standard forms of "correctness" but will most likely adapt to usage. In the case of e-mail to email, this has been very clear.
