If you read my comment on Tony's post, you'll see that I am equally frustrated by the notion of e-learning as a course, with a predefined path for users to follow.

I do understand the argument that we need to indicate when we propose to deliver some learning resources via electronic means, but, by the same token, I can't help wondering how helpful it is to distinguish between learning modalities and instructional delivery media. Doesn't that ensure that elearning will remain a "thing" rather than just becoming a normal, integral part of a larger whole?
