eLearning, E-learning, E-Learning or e-Learning?
Anyone know which is correct?

Nice image Nancy...and either works for me...as long as that capital 'L' doesn't make an appearance out of that crater!

Any update on eLearning, elearning, e-Learning? I'm updating my website and I wondered what is most accepted and also what might be best for SEO.
Thanks.

I think the point of this discussion is that it doesn't matter what you use as long as you are consistent.

I would say it is "eLearning", and I think my opinion aligns with what most people around the world are searching for - case closed! :)
E-Mail Vs. eMail - MoniqueBabin-41Community Member
I agree with what others are saying about consistency being the most important thing. But for me, it boils down to the usage for other similar terms. When is the last time you saw "e-mail" or "eMail?" The simple spelling and case for "email" is now widely accepted. The similar spelling and case for "ebook" and other similar terms have now also become common.
I feel like it's time for elearning to follow suit, but this is just my personal preference. I have a hard time using the spelling and case "e-learning" or "eLearning" if I'm not also going to use "e-mail" or "eMail." - WaleedAlaniCommunity Member
Grammarly.com indicates that using "elearning" (without a hyphen) is incorrect and recommends using "e-learning" instead. For titles and headings, Grammarly.com recommends using "E-Learning."

This reminds me of the nomenclature "debate" a generation ago surrounding the communication medium used to develop and deliver content, via computer, which incorporates a combination of audio, video, text, still images, animation, and interactivity. Is it "multi-media," "Multimedia," "MultiMedia," or "multimedia?" 😃
