https://padlet.com/oshdigit/g5cbo8ryp4lls56w INTRODUCTION TO THE GLOSSARY At present, various definitions based on different approaches are accepted and used in the area of digital education and training. The glossary is based on the idea of unification of terms understanding which is necessary for the needs of the project team. The aim of the glossary is to simplify (or synthesize) well-defined and universally understood terms and concepts. It is not a comprehensive, systematic review of definitions. en-us 2023-06-01 17:24:19 UTC 2025-10-08 15:15:14 UTC hello@padlet.com oshdigit https://padlet.com/oshdigit/g5cbo8ryp4lls56w/wish/2612055592 A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is a system for delivering learning materials to students via the web.

It can be a teacher-led education that takes place over the Internet, with the teacher and student separated geographically (also cyber learning, e-learning, distance learning). ]]> 2023-06-01 17:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/oshdigit/g5cbo8ryp4lls56w/wish/2612055601 oshdigit https://padlet.com/oshdigit/g5cbo8ryp4lls56w/wish/2612055602 There is no agreed definition on online collaborative learning. Collaborative learning means learners work together in small groups toward a common goal. Sometimes cooperative and collaborative learning are used interchangeably but cooperative work usually involves dividing work among the team members, whilst collaborative work means all the team members tackle the problems together in a coordinated effort. Online collaborative learning means participants learning together in teams using information communication technologies, in particular, the Internet, as the mediating tools. ]]> 2023-06-01 17:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/oshdigit/g5cbo8ryp4lls56w/wish/2612055602 oshdigit https://padlet.com/oshdigit/g5cbo8ryp4lls56w/wish/2612055604 Used to describe free, easily accessible, completely online courses.
