Online learning is a learning environment that uses the internet to connect students from various backgrounds and perspectives. A learning management system, or LMS, will be used by a higher education institution to facilitate online learning, which can take the form of asynchronous learning (in which students are not required to be online at the same time and complete coursework through discussion threads and e-mails) or synchronous learning (where students must be online at the same time). An educational experience with no physical boundaries allows students to participate in classes and interact with peers from all over the world. Online education is the delivery of a class entirely or partially via the internet and online course management tools. The whole word applies to internet-based, organized education.
