An online classroom is an environment created through use of a learning management system

that allows students and teacher to connect either synchronously (real-time, with teacher and
students meeting at the same time or asynchronously with interaction between teacher and
students occurring intermittently with a time delay; teacher students are generally separated by
location. (InfoSci-OnDemand, 2020)

An online class is a course conducted over the Internet. They are generally conducted through a
learning management system, in which students can view their course syllabus and academic
progress, as well as communicate with fellow students and their course instructor.

Online education is a form of education where students use their home computers through the
internet. For many nontraditional students, among them all those who want to continue working
full time or raising families, online graduations and courses have become popular in the past
decade. Often online graduation and course programmes, some of which are conducted using
digital technologies, are provided via the online learning portal of the host university.

“Online education is electronically supported learning that relies on the Internet for
teacher/student interaction and the distribution of class materials.” From this simple
definition comes an almost infinite number of ways to teach and learn outside of
traditional classrooms and away from college campuses. (lyneaquino, 2021)

 If developed properly, online classes may increase efficiency and course productivity. To
supplement lectures, teachers can provide access to tools that facilitate discussion and active
participation. In an online environment, teachers can reach students with different learning styles
more easily. (avimargarette, 2021)

for parents who want to study young children at home or any student who prefers to work in the
comfort of their own home or coffee. Moreover, online learning is more cheaper than traditional
classroom academic or trade course. These courses are unpaid. Students can save money. For
