online student
Virtual classroom attendee
An online student is someone enrolled in courses delivered primarily through the internet rather than in physical classrooms.
The term covers everything from a teenager taking a single virtual class to an adult pursuing a full degree remotely: She worked full-time while completing her MBA as an online student.
The arrangement offers flexibility but requires self-discipline.
