  How? Online oroffline? Online Education: The nonexistence of a physical classroom, flexible schedules, and reduced personal interactions. Online education is a type of distance learning---taking courses without attending a brick-and mortar school or university. Instead, online students and teachers interact over the Internet.

  What Is theMeaning of Online Education?  Online learning – Education in which instruction and content are delivered primarily over the Internet. (Watson & Kalmon, 2005)  Used interchangeably with Virtual learning, Cyber learning, e-learning.  Virtual learning can take place synchronously or asynchronously.  In synchronous systems, participants meet in “real time”, and teachers conduct live classes in virtual classrooms. Students can communicate through a microphone, chat rights, or by writing on the board. In asynchronous learning, which is sometimes called “self-paced” learning, students are expected to complete lessons and assignments independently through the system.  Asynchronous courses have deadlines just as synchronous courses do, but each student is learning at his own pace.

  Online ? The phenomenalgrowth of online education is presenting uncharted challenges for academic institutions. A virtual learning environment can also include students and teachers “meeting” online through a synchronous web-based application. The teacher is able to present lessons through video, PowerPoint, or chatting. The students are able to talk with other students and the teacher, as well as collaborate with each other, answer questions, or pose questions. They can use the tools available through the application to virtually raise their hand, send messages, or answer questions on the screen given by the teacher or student presenter.

  Online learning isthe newest and most popular form of distance education today. Within the past decade it has had a major impact on postsecondary education and the trend is only increasing. It is the education that takes place over the Internet. It is often referred to as “e- learning” among other terms. However, online learning is just one type of “distance learning” - the umbrella term for any learning that takes place across distance and not in a traditional classroom. Online Learning

  Computer managed learning(CML) is a technology that manages and assesses the learning process. The computer system provides an administrative framework through which the learner interacts for such tasks as enrolment, unit or module selection, direction to or provision of study material, assessment, and feedback. Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) is defined as the use of computers and software applications to teach concepts or skills. IBM developed one of the first instructional computer systems in the 1960s using minicomputers . Synchronous online classes are those that require students and instructors to be online at the same time. Lectures, discussions, and presentations occur at a specific hour. All students must be online... Asynchronous classes are just the opposite. Oct 23, 2019 Asynchronous Learning. ... The term is most commonly applied to various forms of digital and online learning in which students learn from instruction—such as prerecorded video lessons or game-based learning tasks that students complete on their own—that is not being delivered in person or in real time .Aug 29, 2013

  Fixed e-learning isa fancy name for something you are likely already familiar with. “Fixed” in this context means that the content used during the learning process does not change from its original state and all the participating students receive the same information as all the others. The materials are predetermined by the teachers and don’t adapt to the student’s preferences. This type of learning has been the standard in traditional classrooms for thousands of years, but it’s not ideal in e-learning environments. That is because fixed e-learning does not utilize the valuable real-time data gained from student inputs. Analyzing each student individually through their data and making changes to the materials according to this data leads to better learning outcomes for all students.

  Interactive e-learning isdefined as the “dialogue” between learners and eLearning tools through which learners become engaged and involved in the eLearning process. The term adaptive e-Learning refers to a set of techniques oriented to offer online students a personal and unique experience, with the final goal of maximizing their performances 29, 2016 Linear learning is an educational approach which involves pedagogical strategies concerning program-centeredness (directed, conducted, controlled, guided by the study program) and linear formats. It stands in opposition to flexible learning. Jan 15, 2014

  Virtual learning environmentsare the basic components of contemporary distance learning, but can also be integrated with a physical learning environment which may be referred to as blended learning. This is where students attend traditional school on a part-time basis and complete their classes online. Blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control over time, place, path or pace. While still attending a “brick-and-mortar” school structure, face-to-face classroom methods are combined with computer- mediated activities. M-Learning is the way to learn the tools of communication involving mobile wireless, which creates the premises of an area spreading messages on a global scale. Mobile telephoning has evolved so much that now allows connections to computers and making consistent data transfers. M-Learning is a new educational paradigm that creates an environment in which pupils access to course materials, instructions and applications anytime and anywhere.

  Disadvantages Of e-Learning Well,there are not many disadvantages of eLearning, the main one being that you get knowledge only on a theoretical basis and when it comes to putting to use whatever you have learnt, it may be a little different. The face-to-face learning experience is missing, which may matter to some of you. 1. Most of the online assessments are limited to questions that are only objective in nature. 2. There is also the problem of the extent of security of online learning programs. 3. The authenticity of a particular student's work is also a problem as online just about anyone can do a project rather than the actual student itself. 4. The assessments that are computer marked generally have a tendency of being only knowledge-based and not necessarily practicality-based. 5. Online student feedback is limited. 6. E-Learning can cause social Isolation. 7. E-Learning requires strong self-motivation and time management skills. 8 Lack of communicational skill development in online students. 9. Cheating prevention during online assessments is complicated.
