online class

Remote learning session

An online class is a course conducted over the internet rather than in a physical classroom.

Students access lectures, assignments, and discussions through digital platforms, often with flexibility in when they participate.

I'm taking an online class in statistics this semester.

The format ranges from fully asynchronous—where students work at their own pace—to live video sessions that mimic traditional instruction.
