Most courses are already using digital resources. It will therefore be useful to distinguish between different forms of online education.

Online supported courses

The web serve as a supplement, supporting campus teaching and learning activities through the distribution of teaching materials, management of submissions or simply study administration.

Blended courses

On campus teaching, combined with online teaching and learning activities, where some of the online activities and resources replace traditional teaching activities.

Online courses

Completely web-based courses, where all teaching and interaction between students and teachers takes place online.

MOOC – Massive Open Online Courses

Completely online based courses, scaled for a large number of students attending simultaneously. Teaching activities are mostly automated, often with very little direct interaction between students and teachers.
