The terminology of the word e-learning is firstly discussed, as well as its respective definitions and concepts. The main cornerstones in the development of e-learning as a teaching method are presented, which are then extended to the areas of b-learning and m-learning. We describe the historical aspects and the generations which arose from Distance Education. Furthermore, the technical and pedagogical approaches to e-learning are related. A table is subsequently presented, displaying the advantages and challenges of the e-learning practice. Finally, the e-learning system is analysed, together with new platform trends, namely the Massive Open Online Courses.}, year = {2016}, month = {11/2016}, publisher = {IATED}, pages = {5521-5529}, address = {Seville}, country = {Spain}, doi = {10.21125/iceri.2016.0239}, isbn = {978-84-617-5895-1}, issn = {2340-1095}, refereed = {yes}, keywords = {MOOC, m-learning, e-learning, b-learning}, attachments = {e-learningb-learningm-learning-ICERI2016.pdf}, }
