·       ‘Online learning is education that takes place over the Internet. Online learning is a form of distance education which is the umbrella term for any learning that takes place across distance and not in a traditional classroom. Distance learning includes correspondence courses, telecourses, courses where the student interacts with static computer content, mobile learning such as by means of a mobile phone, and online learning which utilises the internet and can be offered synchronously [such as live streaming] and/or asynchronously [such as pre-recorded lectures]’  (Joshua Stern, Ph.D. past Educational Consultant to Nobel Laureate Universities. http://www.wlac.edu/ONLINE/documents/otl.pdf)

·       On campus or on-campus, refers to a physical campus with a concurrent physically present teacher/lecturer, and not a virtual campus, and cannot be the student’s own home or workplace.

·       Consistent with TEQSA’s use of the term, ‘face-to-face’ excludes education delivered online. As such, delivery methods such as live streaming which are delivered over the internet do not fall within the definition of ‘face-to-face’.

·       Education that takes place over the internet is online regardless of whether it occurs on-campus or elsewhere.
