What is eLearning?
eLearning is a collective intelligence online that can help students (or anyone for that matter) learn a subject using the knowledge of a group. This knowlage can be in the form of a website, blog, video blog, or wiki (collective journal with post editing ability).

Examples of eLearning?
- Website with an interactive time line about the wealthiest Americans in history.
