Abstract
Advances in technology and in associated online education technological capacities are contributing to the rapid growth and increasing effectiveness of online education. The rapidly expanding digital landscape is allowing online education to achieve equivalence and in some ways beyond equivalence with traditional learning, including by enhancing collaborative learning opportunities and by removing geographical and other barriers, including those relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, and providing a custom learning experiences for varied learners. Increasingly commonly used online education features include state-of-the-art Learning Management Systems, eWorkbooks, teleconferencing systems including Zoom and eTutorials. Emerging online education features include open-source collaboration frameworks such as the HTML5 Package (or H5P), simulation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) features. This chapter describes some increasingly widely used and also emerging online education technological features, as convenient resourcse for online education developers, teachers and students.
