PUBLISHED: 13/09/2018

A Glossary of frequently used terms for those outside the online learning bubble

(For the full glossary, to ask a question or add your comments please visit https://coachical.com/digital-learning-glossary/) 



Digital learning solutions have enriched the way we learn and opened up new opportunities to enhance or, in some cases, to replace the more traditional course/classroom-based approach.



Due to its accessibility, ease of use, visual appeal and mass-scalability, it’s easy to see why digital learning is becoming a popular choice for many employers.



The different options available are hugely diverse. To those outside the online learning industry (and even some with extensive experience) it can be difficult to work out what the key difference is between different types of digital learning and what particular terms refer to.



Here we provide a glossary of some key terms for those outside the digital learning bubble.



If you come across another term you’re unsure of, please add it in the comments section and we’ll provide you with a simple definition. Or if we’re unsure… we’ll ask the wider community for you.



Beginning with digital learning itself… digital learning is any type of learning that uses digital technology and enables learners to gain knowledge and skills. This encompasses a variety of ‘online’ solutions.



Here are some other terms that typically come under the banner of digital learning. Though this is by no means an exhaustive list:




  • Blended/hybrid learning

  • Mobile learning

  • Mobile apps

  • E-learning

  • E-books

  • Gamified Learning / Gamification

  • Computer-based training



On our website we provide a basic definition for each... check it out here: https://coachical.com/digital-learning-glossary/
