Another recent modality of learning is the Massive Open Online
Course (MOOC). It is a model delivering content online to any person who wants to take a course. It allows one to pursue learning even outside of University or higher education formal structure.
Synchronous and Asynchronous
1. Synchronous- is a course participants meet in a virtual classroom and discuss a topic in the lesson. So wherever they are situated in the world, they agree on a scheduled session and log in to join the live class.
2. Asynchronous- is when questions or tasks are posted and
course participants answer the question or post their reply at any time most convenient to them.
Blended Learning is a combination of a learning activities wherein a
part of the lesson is delivered online while the other part is handled in actual physical setting of a classroom.

between learning online in a one-to-one, self-paced learning environment and being inside the classroom with a face-to-face teacher.
