Online Learning
Online Learning, also commonly referred to as Distant Education [1] and Digital learning, is learning accompanied and aided by technology [2]. Digital learning has a spectrum of implementations, resulting in many variations of the practice. In recent years, online learning experienced a surge in implementation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This increased relevancy led to an increased amount of coverage and increased visibility to the public eye [3], resulting in Digital Learning being the subject of many debates on its efficiency in comparison to traditional classroom learning.
Background
Some online learning is merely an enhancement of in-person instruction, while other variations have all of the instruction being done through some sort of technology[2]. Some examples of instructional methods using technology include blended/hybrid learning, fully online learning, flipped learning, digital tutoring, personalized learning, gamification, and other variations. Digital tools can also be utilized to create online learning experiences by non-instructors with students individually seeking out instructional and learning materials through technology.
Blended learning
Collaborative learning
Fully online learning

History
Technologies
The Association for Educational Communications and Technology (commonly abbreviated as AECT), “a professional association of instructional designers, educators and professionals who provide leadership and advise policy makers in order to sustain a continuous effort to enrich teaching and learning,” [10] defines educational technology as "the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources" [11].
[12] There are many technologies that can be utilized for digital instruction. Tools like video conference technology have particularly contributed significantly to the practice of online learning, as they are one of the tools making distance learning a possibility[13].
