Purely online learning is one of the learning ways in e-learning which obviously means that there is no face-to-face meetings. Learners and intructors do not meet each other outside. Studies are done fully online. For example, the lecturer will post the notes and homework online and the students will read the notes online. Homework will be sent to the lecturer to check via e-mail.

This way of learning is where most schools use nowadays. For example, instead of having lectures everyday in classroom, there are some learning activities can be done online. Classroom time can be used to mix the students around for interactive purposes like a group of students discussing on their group assignments.
