A successful e-learning strategy requires analysis, design, development and implementation of teaching-learning strategies and content with context to support a wide range of business and educational goals and objectives, teaching-learning formats including classroom- and web-based professional development with an emphasis on distributed learning environments using asynchronous and/or synchronous systems and Web technologies. To be successful IT must take into account different teaching-learning styles while providing distance learning solutions to help an institution become a strategic e-learning organization. It begins by making a high-level analysis of an organization's e-learning readiness to give a clear idea of the ability and willingness of its stakeholders to support the new learning strategy. In essence distributed learning connects people to people and people to knowledge through the judicious use of technology. Therefore, e-learning can be considered from two perspectives: Technology and Pedagogy.
