On-line learning / E-learningThe use ofelectronic mediaandinformation and communication technologies(ICT) in education. It includes all forms of educational technologyinlearningandteaching. It is inclusive of, and is broadly synonymous withmultimedia learning,technology-enhanced learning(TEL),computer-based instruction(CBI),computer managed instruction,[1]computer-based training(CBT),computer-assisted instruction or computer-aided instruction(CAI),internet-based training(IBT),web-based training(WBT),online education,virtual education,virtual learning environments(VLE),and digital educational collaboration. The alternative names described above emphasize a particular aspect, component or delivery method.

On-line learning / E-learningIt includes numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video.

It also includes technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape, satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computer-based learning, as well as web-based learning.

E-learning can occur in or out of theclassroom. (Asynchronous learningor synchronous learning).

E-learning is suited todistance learningand flexible learning, but it can also be used in conjunction with face-to-face teaching.

BLENDED LEARNING:

Distance and flexible learning that can also be used in conjunction with face-to-face teaching.

Formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control over time, place, path or pace. While still attending a school structure. So face-to-face classroom methods are combined withcomputer-mediated activities.

Disadvantages of ICTTeachers attitude: some see it as a potential tool to aid learning whereas others seem to disagree with the use of technology in early year settings.

Lack of knowledge: In theory some people may have the opinion that the teachers who had not experienced ICT throughout their learning tend to have a negative attitude towards it, as they may lack the training in that area of the curriculum.

Cost: the fact that computers are expensive.

Internet: the fact that there is no INTERNET at school or at home.
