Hey Harold: I guess I feel somewhat compelled to comment here because of the name of my blog having not one, but two e's in front of learning. I'll go into more detail over on eelearning, but I think there a bit of an error in assuming elearning is only about technology and learning and somehow excludes one from talking about learning in general.

Chalkboards, overhead projectors and desks with chairs are all learning technologies when brought into the classroom. In my mind the e has been about the particular problems that the introduction of the the computer and other electronic devices along with the expansion of the internet and world wide web have introduced into learning environments.

It's always been about what learners need to learn, where and how they are going to find or be presented with the appropriate content so that they can learn it, how it might be re-enforced and how they or others might assess their knowledge or skills to determine if learning has occurred.

That some people may have gotten too focused on the technnology at the expense of good learning is obvious. but I've never seen Albert as being among those and really don't think dropping a letter from the name of a blog is going to change anything.
