Abstract :
This paper examines the inputs of two different processes and the linkage between those processes. The processes examined in this paper are e-Teaching and e-Learning. Many conferences and journals are devoted to publishing on e-learning while in most cases they address the issues of e-teaching, which is a different process. In recent years Universities around the world are competing to take advantage of the e-learning benefits including its economic incentives. Furthermore, many academic institutions have embraced the e-learning philosophy until it became the objective. This phenomenon has motivated the authors to conduct a study to thoroughly examine e-learning as part of the overall learning process. In this paper the authors reflect on their experience in e-teaching/e-learning attempting to make the distinction clearer and define the relationship.
