Online education, from K-12 to higher education settings, includes many forms of teaching that can supplement or substitute in-person classes.
Online education may offer opportunities not feasible for in-person education (massive classes, distance learning). Generally, online learning outcome assessments are similar or slightly reduced compared to in-person learning.
Taken together, online education has the potential to improve accessibility of education but may also reduce education quality, particularly for less well-regulated institutions.
