Key Points for Understanding:

Remote learning is where the student and the educator, or information source, are not
physically present in a traditional classroom environment. Information is relayed through
technology, such as discussion boards, video conferencing, and online assessments. Remote
Learning can occur synchronously with real-time peer-to-peer interaction and collaboration, or
asynchronously, with self-paced learning activities that take place independently of the
instructor.
Social media are interactive technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of
information, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression through virtual
communities and networks. While challenges to the definition of social media arise due to the
variety of stand-alone and built-in social media services currently available, there are some
common features:

1. Social media are interactive Web 2.0 Internet-based applications.

2. User-generated content—such as text posts or comments, digital
photos or videos, and data generated through all online interactions — is the
lifeblood of social media.
3. Users create service-specific profiles for the website or app that are designed and
maintained by the social media organization.
4. Social media helps the development of online social networks by connecting a
user's profile with those of other individuals or groups.
