Online learning involves the delivery of educational content via the internet, allowing students to access coursework from anywhere with an internet connection. This mode of education has grown rapidly, especially with the advent of new technologies and the global need for remote learning solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. While online learning offers flexibility and accessibility, it also presents challenges such as limited face-to-face interaction and varying levels of student engagement.
