E-learning is usually not capitalized. The most accepted way to write it is with a lowercase “e” and a hyphen, like this: e-learning. The “e” stands for electronic, and the hyphen connects it to the word learning. This makes it clear that the term refers to learning done through digital or electronic tools. When written with a hyphen, e-learning stays in all lowercase letters.
Key points
- That means e-learning, e-commerce, and similar terms should still include the hyphen for now.
- Whether you’re writing a blog post, a school paper, or training content, and consistency matters.
- The “e” stands for electronic, and the hyphen connects it to the word learning.
