   Broadbent (2002) identifies four types of e-learning: informal, self-pace, leader-led and performance support tools. These strategies can be used individually or in combination which is termed blended.
   
   Informal learning (Broadbent, 2002) occurs when the learner seeks and finds information independently. Instruction is not involved.
   Self-paced learning (Broadbent, 2002) work with materials in digital form "at their own pace". Modules are set up either online or through a software program. The learner interacts with the materials at a rate of his/her choice to learn acquire new skills.
   Leader-led learning according to Broadbent (2002), is instruction led by and instructor in either an asynchronous or synchronous instruction. The leader's level of involvement may be dependent on the needs of the learner.
   Performance support tools (Broadbent, 2002) are resources that are online.  These materials are accessed by learners as support for tasks they are expected to perform.
   According to Broadbent (2002) deciding where to use e-learning and which type or types to use depends on the learners, budget, needs or the organization.

   E-learning comprises all forms of electronically supported learning  and teaching. Information and communication systems, whether networked or not, serve as specific media to implement the learning process[1].
   
   E-learning is essentially the computer and network enabled transfer of skills and knowledge. E-learning applications and processes include Web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classrooms and digital collaboration. Content is delivered via the Internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM. It can be self paced or instructor led and includes media in the form of text, image, animation, streaming video and audio.
   
   Acronyms like CBT (Computer-Based Training), IBT (Internet-Based Training) or WBT (Web-Based Training) have been used as synonyms to e-learning. Today one can still find these terms being used, along with variations of e-learning such as elearning, Elearning, and eLearning.
