    VIRTUAL LEARNING
    Virtual learning is usually associated
    with online courses or online
    environments, but it has much broader
    dimensions.
    Virtual Learning – meaning
    Virtual learning is a learning experience that is enhanced through utilizing computers and/or the
    internet both outside and inside the facilities of the educational organization. The instruction
    most commonly takes place in an online environment. The teaching activities are carried out
    online whereby the teacher and learners are physically separated (in terms of place, time, or
    both).

    Distance learning conducted in a virtual learning


    environment with electronic study content designed
    for self-paced (asynchronous) or live
    web-conferencing (synchronous) online teaching and
    tutoring.
    Virtual Learning – educational theories

    The quality of online education depends on the proper use of digital technologies in
    accordance with modern educational theories:

    BEHAVIORISM

    Behaviorism examines how students behave while learning. It focuses on how learners respond
    to certain stimuli. When the teacher repeats the stimuli, they can observe, control, and modify the
    learner’s individual behavior. Learners do what they are instructed to do and are only prepared to
    reproduce basic facts and automatically perform tasks. Behaviorism does not examine the mind
    or cognitive processes.
    In virtual learning behaviorism can be applied through step-by-step video tutorials, game-based
    activities, regular and constructive feedback, quizzes, gamification, etc.
    COGNITIVISM
    Cognitivism focuses on the role of the mind and cognitive processes in learning. It explains how the
    brain is functioning and the levels of cognitive development that form the foundation of learning.
    Studies of cognitivism help educators understand how people learn and how to teach more
    effectively.
    In virtual learning cognitivism can be applied through customizable learning environments,
    adaptive and personalized learning applications, AI, learning analytics, etc. It is important to provide
    content that is tailored to your learners’ cognitive abilities, such as text, images, multimedia, etc., in
    which the learners can choose how lessons are presented.
    SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM
    Teaching and learning are explained as complex interactive social phenomena that take place
    between teachers and students. Learning activities focus on experience sharing, teamwork, and
    collaborative learning.
    Social constructivism finds perfect application in group discussions, brainstorming,
    problem-based learning, and small group activities. A great environment for these types of
    activities is the virtual classroom for live online teaching with interactive tools like collaborative
    web-conferencing, an online whiteboard, breakout rooms, screen sharing, etc.

    Basic characteristics and benefits:

    1.Remote access to an unlimited array of educational services (topics and tutors) offered
    worldwide
    2.Individualized learning process that takes into consideration the personal level of
    competence, individual needs, and different learning styles
    3.Safe and secure learning environment
    4.Flexible learning in terms of time, location, and pace
    5.Cost-effectiveness, time-effective, easily scalable… and much more
    a list of related terms
    Virtual learning has many forms and related terms. These seem very similar but represent
    different aspects of learning and teaching and can help us understand the essence of “virtual
    learning.” Here are the most commonly used ones:

    •E-learning
    E-learning in its broadest sense refers to:
    Using electronic technologies for learning and teaching.
    The learning activities take place either entirely or partially online. They can be conducted
    by means of electronic media without the use of the Internet.
    •Web-based learning
    Web-based learning refers to the use of a web browser for learning.
    •Online learning

    Online learning is associated with the provision of electronic content available on a computer/
    mobile device. It might involve the use of the internet, but the use of a web browser is
    optional.
    Online learning can be done through programs or apps installed on your personal device,
    which can also be used offline.
    •Distance learning

    Distance learning does not have to use electronic and web-based technologies. It means
    learning from a distance; in other words, the participants are physically separated.
    Distance learning is related to:
    Providing instruction to a person who is learning in a place and at a time different from
    that of the teachers and the other learners
    •Blended learning

    This type of learning combines virtual and traditional forms of teaching. The learning
    content should be digitalized and made available online. Thus, learners are able to control
    the learning process in terms of time, place, tempo, and method of learning.
    Conclusion
    Virtual learning combines all of the above-mentioned terms. It
    can overcome many drawbacks of the physical environment
    such as time, facilities, location, etc. Online environments allow
    teachers to work with larger numbers of students and optimize
    their routine tasks. Virtual learning also brings new pedagogical
    techniques into the traditional forms of education and makes
    learning more personalized and convenient.
