eLearning has been promoted as a replacement for classroom training. As a consequence, it has also been viewed as a technological replacement for paper.
However it is not easy to spend time reading a computer screen - although new virtual ink technologies such as Sony's may help resolve that problem. Fact is, most people like the feel of a book and it is very easy to move around in a book - stop, start, go back and forward. And portability is a real problem too. So is the need for electric power - even if the charge on a notebook were to last.
So I suggest that the best use of eLearning is to complement the classroom and the book. Use the technology to access really good learning material quickly and cheaply - but choose the right medium to communicate different styles of coaching and learning.

a shelf full of books can look quite impressive though...
