Among the most crucial features of online learning platforms are forums that enable asynchronous student-teacher contact and collaboration,web conferences that provide video,audio,and written communication,and chat,where users can send messages and get responses in real time.It examines several researchers' interpretations of what e-learning is and how it functions in higher education institutions
