Introduction -What is Online Learning ?

• Online learning is 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.

WHAT IS ONLINE LEARNING ?

• ONLINE LEARNING

• CONVINIENT

• TECHNOLOGY

• Online education is very convenient. In this, the
  student can sit anywhere and take education. For
  this, no one place is fixed and the student gets
  relief even in the weather like summer.

• Many changes have also been seen in the way of
  taking education due to technology. Today, the
  teaching-related material used in online
  education can be sent from one place to another
  through technology online.

• Online learning or electronic learning, is the
  acquisition of knowledge which takes place
  through electronic technologies and media.

Students do not learn much just sitting in
classes listening to teachers, memorizing
prepackaged assignments, and spitting out
answers. They must talk about what they are
learning, write reflectively about it, relate it
to past experiences, and apply it to their daily
lives. They must make what they learn part of
themselves.

• The future of online learning

• Mobile-friendly content is going to be
  essential. Nowadays most students use their
  mobile devices not only to look for an online
  degree, but also to do course work.

• Online students need career advice. Most online
  college students pursue a degree for professional
  reasons.

• Online programs are becoming more
  diversified. Degrees Business and Education are
  probably some of the most popular ones among
  online students.

How Online learning works ?

• Get the education you want, from anywhere in the
  world, on a schedule that suits your life. 
• Online learning is when you take courses
  online instead of in a physical classroom. If
  your schedule makes it hard to attend classes, if
  you prefer studying at your own pace or if you
  live far from campus, online learning might be
  for you. 
• With online learning, you can 
• earn a certificate or diploma without setting
  foot in a physical classroom
• work full-time while you study
• set your own schedule study in the early
  morning, on your lunch break, or even in the
  middle of the night 
• interact with students from across Canada and
  around the world 
• get a quality education from the University of
  Victoria without leaving your home community

Advantages of Online Learning
Efficiency and Affordability

• Improved Student Attendance

• Since online classes can be taken from home or
  location of choice, there are fewer chances of
  students missing out on lessons.

Online learning offers teachers an efficient way
to deliver lessons to students. Online learning
has a number of tools such as videos, PDFs,
podcasts, and teachers can use all these tools as
part of their lesson plans. 

• Suits a variety of learning styles

• Accessibility of Spcae and Time

• Every student has a different learning journey
  and a different learning style. Some students are
  visual learners, while some students prefer to
  learn through audio.

• Another advantage of online education is that it
  allows students to attend classes from any
  location of their choice. It also allows schools
  to reach out to a more extensive network of
  students, instead of being restricted by
  geographical boundaries.

Disadvantages of Online Learning

• Technology Issues 

Inability To Focus On Screens

• Another key challenge of online classes is
  internet connectivity. While internet penetration
  has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few
  years, in smaller cities and towns, a consistent
  connection with decent speed is a problem.

For many students, one of the biggest challenges
of online learning is the struggle with focusing
on the screen for long periods of time.

• Sense Of Isolation 

• Teacher training

• Online learning requires teachers to have a basic
  understanding of using digital forms of learning.
  However, this is not the case always. Very often,
  teachers have a very basic understanding of
  technology.

• Students can learn a lot from being in the
  company of their peers. However, in an online
  class, there are minimal physical interactions
  between students and teachers.
