In India, the IITs, Jain institute of sciences etc. have made e-learning very popular in recent times.
At the end of the year 2000 & the start of 2001, I suggested e-learning to some bosses but they refused it & insisted upon face-to-face meetings between lecturers & students despite the huge risks of mobility at that time of immense turbulence. Recently, there are calls for e-learning but not at the expense of losing the money gained from the students in registering courses in the usual way.
Dear Colleague,
Good Day,
“Electronic classes”, or e-learning as we like to call it now, is a new technology experience implemented in one of Baghdad schools as a preparation to enable electronic learning in the sector of education.
This project is endorsed by the Education Ministry and executed by iCube Development Company which is in charge of designing a program for students that would substitute school books. Students would have to work on a computerized active board which enables them to follow up with their teacher and do their home works.
Iraq’s Government stresses that introducing technology to Iraqi schools is part of the strategic educational plan set by the government to raise the level of education in Iraq.
This experience will be expanded to other Iraqi schools gradually, Education Ministry officials affirmed.
This initiative is regarded as a first step towards filling the huge gap between Iraq education level and advanced educational technology in the world.
The educational projects of many institutions offering distance learning not only as a complement to the formation in the presence but also as a learning path aimed at users having difficulty in the presence of frequency. Through distance learning facilitates continuing education and the business, especially for organizations with a plurality of seats.

E-learning is quite popular in the U.S. ("my country"): so much so, that because of its limited cost it may be displacing conventional undergraduate education, whose cost increases astronomically in this country.
e-learning should not be used only as a knowledge proliferation process, but should be customized suitably and recognized in par with the "Normal Course work". What ever IIT and IISC does (linked file) is nothing but a KM initiative, it requires a long way to consolidate as e-learning.

E-learning is the use of electronic media, educational
technology and information and communication technologies
(ICT) in education. E-learning includes numerous types of
media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and
streaming video, and includes technology applications and
processes such as audio or video tape, satellite TV, CD-ROM,
and computer-based learning, as well as local
intranet/extranet and web-based learning. Information and
communication systems, whether free-standing or based on
either local networks or the Internet in networked learning,
underlie many e-learning processes [15].
E-learning can occur in or out of the classroom. It can be
self-paced, asynchronous learning or may be instructor-led,
synchronous learning. E-learning is suited to distance
learning and flexible learning, but it can also be used in
conjunction with face-to-face teaching, in which case the term
blended learning is commonly used.
E-learning includes, and is broadly synonymous with
multimedia learning, technology-enhanced learning (TEL),
computer-based instruction (CBI), computer managed
instruction, either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI
units are strongly encouraged.) English units may be used as
secondary.
