Abstract

Online learning, also referred to as e-learning or distance learning, is an educational approach that utilizes digital technologies and the Internet to deliver educational content and facilitate learning remotely. It eliminates geographical constraints, making education accessible to individuals who may have limited opportunities for on-campus learning due to location or other factors. Although many common learning and teaching activities, like lecturing and communicating, can be easily handled by modern online learning technologies, others, like the evaluation of learning outcomes with closed-book exams, are difficult. Among other issues involving students and educators, these difficulties concern educators' capacity to guarantee academic integrity when an exam is taken remotely and from a private location in the absence of a live proctor. The objective of this chapter of to highlight the issue of online learning particularly in developing countries.
