LEARNING TO STUDENTS

INTRODUCTION
This study abstracted on the interventions made by myself to address, Eventuality
of Digital Online Learning to students and teachers. This part of presentation
presents the background of the study, the theoretical framework, the rational of
the study, and the affirmation of the problem.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Digital learning is an umbrella term, the broadest term on the list. It means any
type of learning that includes using digital technology. That includes students
taking courses online, of course. But it also includes students doing internet
research or watching online videos in a classroom and teachers using digital tools
like smart boards and tablets. Nearly any higher education course will include
some type of digital learning.
Online Learning
This is another broad term, but slightly narrower than digital learning. It means
that the majority of the coursework will be done through the internet — through
forums, shared documents, email, chat, etc. However, it doesn’t imply that there
is no face-to-face interaction between students and the teacher. It can include
doing coursework in a classroom or at a distance, so long as communication is
primarily online.
E-Learning
Also called “virtual learning,” e-learning generally refers to a course taken entirely
over the internet. The teacher and students do not meet face to face. All course
work and communication is handled via email, forums, chat, or video
conferencing. Some institutions refer to this type of course as a “fully online”
course.
Distance learning
This term is commonly used as a synonym for e-learning. The term came into
popularity to emphasize the idea that geographical distance is not a barrier to
learning. Students from different cities, states, and countries can all take the same
course together.
Blended Learning
Blended learning refers to a mix between a traditional classroom and an e-
learning or online learning course. Students are required to be physically present
for a predetermined number of classes, but the majority of coursework is still
done online. For example, students might have assignments due on Monday and
Wednesday that are submitted online, but are expected to attend a Friday class
on campus.
Digital Curriculum
Digital curriculum is more specific; it refers specifically to the texts, lectures, tests,
and multimedia components that are used for instruction. In other words, digital
curriculum refers to a collection of resources that together constitute a complete
online course.
E-Textbook
Finally, e-textbook or digital textbook is the narrowest term; it refers to a single
work that has been made available in an e-reader compatible format.
