Subject: Re: OT: What verb to use for "taking," "performing," WBT?

Thanks everybody for all the suggestions. Not that anybody really cares (I just like closure), but I think I'm going to go with "eLearn" and "eLearning" for the general terms to describe what a student does with online training. The terms eLearn and eLearning have been around for awhile, and I think most people have a pretty good conceptual idea of what eLearning is (or what it should be/would be/could be). Also, I like it! It's a relatively new, "web-savvy" and definitive term that appropriately describes what students "do" with online training - they learn (well, hopefully). And not just the old-fashioned way - they eLearn! ;-) It seems to fit well with all the other new eTerms as well: eTrading, eCommerce, eBusiness, eTraining, eShopping, emailing, ...

"Before a student can logon and begin eLearning, the student's name, userID, and password must exist in the student tracking database."

"To make eLearning more accessible, relevant, current, and economically efficient, we need to implement cross platform, data driven, standards based, intranet delivery of all corporate CBT/EBT/WBT.

"OK class, what did we eLearn today?"

"Got eLearning?"
