Definition

  • Computer-based learning refers to a learning strategy in which the learning environment is partially or completely mediated through information and communication technologies (ICTs). Computer-based learning can be envisioned as a continuum, starting from pure distance learning (in which students work at home or at their office and interact with faculty and other students through several forms of computer-mediated communication, such as e-mail or videoconferencing), to a standard classroom-based environment enriched with computer simulations, business games, or virtual spaces in which to discuss and interact.
