E-learning, in my opinion, is a constantly advancing, technologically based learning modality which surpasses traditional classroom learning because of its accessibility and varied course options. Learning is comprised of knowledge sharing amongst peers, students, teachers, and even communities.  The impact of learning about knowledge management inherently contains real world application, concerns, and issues. Because e-learning can reach beyond local establishments, it provides a more diverse forum to harness from a much greater talent pool.  Sharing ideas, challenges and solutions can come from many places in many forms.  E-learning is also more capable of infiltrating across various fields of subject matter.  For example, issues that arise in the field of HR in regards to personnel training and management can be addressed by theories and solutions from the perspective of the school of management and the school of education.  As a student, I like the idea that my classmates may have different perspectives because they come from different fields, different parts of the world, and different schools of thought.  We are always in different physical locations so we are influenced by different environments.  We can each contribute extensively varied information and/or knowledge to resolve concerns that impact an organization which may or may not be located in different communities.  This kind of learning is much closer to real world situations where organizations must strategically incorporate understanding of different people from different fields to achieve a common goal.
