virtual learning
Screen-based schooling now
Virtual learning is education delivered through digital technology rather than in-person instruction.
Students attend classes online, submit assignments electronically, and interact with teachers and classmates through video calls, forums, or messaging: The pandemic forced schools to shift to virtual learning overnight.
The term emphasizes real-time or structured coursework, distinguishing it from casual self-study.
