Interactivity
Learners can interact with experts,
teachers, or peers in the form of synchronies or asynchronous communication. Hence, the experts are more reachable and the knowledge is more available.
Permanency
Learners can never lose their work unless it is purposefully deleted. In addition, all the learning processes are recorded continuously in everyday.
Accessibility
Learners have access to their documents, data, or videos from anywhere. That information is provided based on their requests. Therefore, the learning involved is self-directed.
Immediacy
Wherever learners are, they can get
any information immediately. Therefore learners can solve problems quickly. Otherwise, the learner may record the questions and look for the answer later.
