ABSTRACT
The introduction of mobile phones and devices into e-learning contexts over the past two decades has significantly transformed the nature of distance learning significantly. Now, a new term is needed for e-learning that accurately reflects the current state of university online education where 67 percent of fully online students used mobile devices to complete some of their online coursework. This paper aims to suggest the new term digital distance learning (DDL) should be used instead of e-learning.
