    Definition of online learning

    Online learning definitions vary but generally it is considered to be an approach to


    facilitate and enhance learning through both computer and communications technology. As such,
    online learning is the most accessible pathway to the new knowledge and also economy and
    related jobs for the majority of working people. Online learning also includes mobile learning,
    e-gaming, online communities and learning management systems that engage each user. Online
    courses offer students educational opportunities that they may not otherwise have at their local
    schools. These courses offer students the flexibility of when and where they access their courses.
    For many students the online learning environment may provide better support for their learning
    styles. While online course have proven successful for students with a variety of academic
    backgrounds and needs, it is important to recognize that just as a traditional classroom setting

    the best fit for all students. As what was said by Carliner (1999) , online learning is an
    educational material that is presented on a computer. online instruction is an innovative approach
    for delivering instruction to a remote audience, using the Web as the medium. Online learning,
    however, involves more than just the presentation and delivery of materials using the Web: the
    learner and the learning process should be the focus of online learning. (Khan 1997) online
    learning is [t]he use of the Internet to access learning materials; to interact with the content,
    instructor, and other learners; and to obtain support during the learning process, in order to
    acquire knowledge, to construct personal meaning, and to grow from the learning experience
    (Ally, 2007)
