Distance learning is a mode of delivering education or training programmes remotely. It does not require a simultaneous interaction between the teacher/trainer and the learner.
Learning that is supported by information and communication technologies (ICT). E-learning is, therefore, not limited to ‘digital literacy’ (the acquisition of IT competence) but may encompass multiple formats and hybrid methodologies, in particular, the use of software, Internet, CD-ROM, online learning or any other electronic or interactive media.
e-Learning is an umbrella term that refers to the use of any digital device or media (multi-media) for teaching and learning, especially for delivery or accessing of content. Thus e-Learning can take place without any reference to a network or connectivity. The digital device used by the learner to access materials need not be connected to a digital network, either a local area network or to the Internet (or even to a cell phone network if a Tablet is used as a terminal or access device).
Instructional model based on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to acquire knowledge, know-how, information, values, skills and competences through the internet.
