Definition of Online learning

"Online Learning is defined as learning that takes place partially or entirely over the Internet."  The definition is necessary to have a precise understanding on whether or not students who are online learners are actually learning compared to those who have a more traditional way of learning; that is face to face in a classroom. Online learning is based on learning solely by using the Internet or it may also be combined with face to face instruction. This type of learning that combines online with face to face instruction is also referred to as hybrid learning. It is necessary to list both types of learning because most studies that have been conducted on the effectiveness of online learning include both types.
