Online Learning Notes

Learning takes place differently in online and blended classrooms compared to traditional classrooms. In traditional classrooms, learning occurs in a physical space like a classroom with desks and other students of similar ages. However, in online settings students can learn from anywhere with an internet connection. They may have virtual classmates from different countries and ages. Traditional classrooms use physical books and tools while online settings use digital tools like videos and apps. Connectivism theory suggests that learning is networked and students are at the center, with technology altering how people learn. Both online and traditional settings can be effective depending on the individual student.
