Blog Posts...yes, plural

My definition of online learning  is anything that uses online tools to instruct . It may or may not be 100% online. This can be done outside of school or in a school layout.  Perhaps some of the learning takes place in a combination of in classroom and out side classroom, or perhaps is all online. All types of classes could be offered with online learning, the only thing that stays consistent is that a percentage of instructions are delivered online. 

Cyber schooling sounds as if all instructions are delivered online but collaboration is done in person. This practice is more suitable for high school students for independence purposes. Instructional content may be completed in school and out of school. 

Virtual learning sounds as if instructions are delivered online, collaboration is completed on line, and all work is completed online. In other words it is 100% online. This practice can better used with with all grade levels, with modify skills. Training to learn how to use tools will be limited because it will not give learners hands on experiences, it will only provide theories and guidelines.
