What do you mean by e-learning?
Any learning that utilizes a network (LAN, WAN or Internet) for delivery, interaction, or facilitation. This would include distributed learning , distance learning (other than pure correspondence ), CBT delivered over a network, and WBT . Can be synchronous , asynchronous , instructor-led or computer-based or a combination.

Well, my advice would be to use terms that people understand. Or if you’re going to use technical terms, warn us. Otherwise, I feel like you’re talking over my head to people who know what you’re talking about. In other words:
Make it accessible.
Share your excitement.
Ok. Basically, learning via technology.
I like real people in real time. I need interactive dialogue about a subject, and lots of examples and discussion questions.
I would say real life examples. If you want to educate them about e-learning, don’t just show them what it is, get them involved, inside. Get them hands one with the technology.
Are you teaching a class?
What technology do you have at your disposal to use to teach them with?
You want show them e-learning, you need to find e-teaching.
