When using the Virtual Learning Model or distance learning…
students work online at home while the teacher assigns work and checks in digitally. Distance learning, also called distance education, e-learning, and online learning, is a form of education in which the main elements include physical separation of teachers and students during instruction and the use of various technologies to facilitate student-teacher and student-student communication.
