History

Formerly know as the 'eLearning Industry Group', it was founded in 2002. It became ELIG in 2007 as it attracted members from the wider e-learning industry, such as the publishing and content industry. In 2009 it partnered with German agency ICWE, which organises events in education, training and ICT, such as Online Educa Berlin and eLearning Africa.[2]
