Web-based learning, also known as online learning or e-learning, delivers course content over the internet. It allows for discussion forums via email and video conferencing, as well as live lectures. Content includes static pages like printed materials and hyperlinks. Web-based learning provides students access to course information, teaching materials, communication tools, and student records management. While it offers flexibility and access to resources, disadvantages include requiring appropriate computer equipment and infrastructure, as well as potential for students to feel isolated.
