2. E-Learning
E-learning (or e-Learning) is the use of electronic educational
technology in learning and teaching.
Information and communication technology (ICT) in education,
EdTech, learning technology, multimedia learning), computer-
based instruction (CBI), computer managed instruction, computer-
based training (CBT), computer-assisted instruction or computer-
aided instruction (CAI), internet-based training (IBT), flexible learning,
web-based training (WBT), online education, online
learning, [1]virtual education, virtual learning environments (VLE)
(which are also called learning platforms),m-learning, and digital
education.
3. E-Learning
These alternative terms are all linguistically more restrictive than
"educational technology" in that they refer to the use of modern tools,
such as computers, digital technology, electronic media, networked
digital devices and associated software and courseware with learning
scenarios, worksheets and interactive exercises that facilitate learning.
However, these alternative names individually emphasize a particular
digitization approach, component or delivery method. Accordingly,
each conflates to the broad domain of educational technology. For
example, m-learning emphasizes mobility, but is otherwise
indistinguishable from educational technology.

4. E-Learning
It's called electronic learning ( also known by e- learning) to
education to fully virtualized by new electronic channels ( the new
communication networks , especially the Internet ) distance , using
hypertext tools or applications ( mail , web pages , discussion
forums, instant messaging, training platforms that combine several
of the above examples of applications , among others) in support of
the teaching - learning. On a semi- related to the concept, it is also
called b -learning (blended learning)
5. B-Learning
The b-learning is a method combining distance education and classroom
education ; retaking the advantages of both approaches and
complementing learning apprentices.
It can also be defined as a system based on mass and two-way
communication system that replaced personal interaction in the classroom
of teacher and student, as a preferred medium of instruction , for the
systematic and joint action of various teaching resources and support of a
tutorial organization providing independent learning of students, in addition
to strengthening the ability of effective communication with participants
through the platforms used .
6. M-Learning
The term m-learning ("mobile learning"), has different meanings for
different communities, covering a range of use scenarios
including e-learning, educational technology and distance
education, that focuses on learning with mobile devices.
Mobile learning is defined as "learning across multiple contexts,
through social and content interactions, using personal electronic
devices” (Crompton, 2013 p. 4) In other words, with the use of
mobile devices, learners can learn anywhere and at any time.
7. M-Learning
M-learning technologies include handheld computers, MP3 players,
notebooks, mobile phones and tablets. M-learning focuses on the
mobility of the learner, interacting with portable technologies, and
learning that reflects a focus on how society and its institutions can
accommodate and support an increasingly mobile population.
There is also a new direction in m-learning that gives the instructor
more mobility and includes creation of on the spot and in the field
learning material that predominately uses smartphone with special
software such as AHG Cloud Note. Using mobile tools for creating
learning aids and materials becomes an important part of informal
learning.
8. M-Learning
M-learning is convenient in that it is accessible from virtually
anywhere. M-learning, like other forms of e-learning, is also
collaborative. Sharing is almost instantaneous among everyone
using the same content, which leads to the reception of instant
feedback and tips. This highly active process has proven to increase
exam scores from the fiftieth to the seventieth percentile, and cut
the dropout rate in technical fields by 22 percent.[3] M-learning also
brings strong portability by replacing books and notes with small
devices, filled with tailored learning contents. In addition, it is simple
to utilize mobile learning for a more effective and entertaining
experience.
