With the use of computer technology and the popularity of home office software, the way of learning also learn from the normal classroom to multimedia technology-supported learning. E-learning, this new way of teaching and learning, has quickly become an important way of learning around the world of education learning. In order to better grasp the overall situation in the field of e-learning research, you need to study the existing e-learning at home and abroad to make a quantitative empirical analysis by comparing the domestic and international research in the field of e-learning situation for our e-learning development for reference.For the study of e-learning, this paper studies at the differences of e-learning literature between at abroad and at home, and thus to provide direction for the development of our e-learning. In the study, from the view of the perspective of bibliometrics scientific point at first, it researches the status of the e-learning from 2010 to 2014 which is nearly five years,and then carries out the comparative analysis of e-learning at abroad and home through the understanding of the content analysis and literature research methods and the social network analysis. When performing social network analysis, the first is to select the high-frequency and co-occurrence of the keyword frequency, obtaining a social network diagram. At the same time, analyzing the center of the high frequency keywords and the network density, the author could draw edge and core keywords, which could help analyze the internal structure of the e-learning social network. The result is presented by the form of an intuitive visualization, using multivariate statistical analysis of the factor analysis,cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling analysis, which can reveals the changes and trends of the e-learning at home and abroad currently. The main contents of this study are the following several aspects:First, through measurement analysis of scientific literature to analyze the e-learning subjects involved the authors of the case, it summarizes and evaluates domestic and international e-learning situation and researches the domestic and foreign researchers in the study of e-learning.Secondly, through literature content analysis, I could find the shortcomings of the e-learning research, while analyzing the research purposes and research methods, knowing the research result is whether in the theoretical research or empirical research. In the study,knowing which methods conducive can have a deeper understanding, which also making the e-learning study more diversified.Again, through social networks analyzing the e-learning literature, I can draw high-frequency keywords matrix, the social network diagram and the result of the network density and the center of the entire network, which could reveal implied internal relationship between the high frequency keywords.From the times, I obtain the development trend of e-learning research and the topic distribution of the current e-learning research by using the methods of factor analysis,cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling analysis, which can provide valuable reference for the follow-up e-learning researchers.Finally, through the comparison of three aspects of the Domestic and international e-learning, give the implications and recommendations.
