Online learning is an educational medium that allows students to participate in online courses via the internet. They don’t need to visit lecture halls or classrooms, and they can choose to learn whatever they want from the comfort of their own homes. Online learning is also a way for subject-matter experts to pass on their knowledge in a gratifying way.
For some, online learning means getting a degree through a university or college. As of 2014, nearly 6 million students were enrolled in at least one distance learning course through a major educational institution. But that’s just the tip of the e-learning iceberg.
