ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

E-learning

E-learning is like going to school, but instead of sitting in a classroom with other kids, you do your learning online.

Imagine you are sitting on your couch with your computer, tablet or phone in front of you. You click on a website or app that has a course you want to take. A teacher (who is also online) will give you lessons, explain things to you, and ask you questions. You can watch videos, read articles, play games, and do quizzes, just like you do at school.

E-learning is helpful for many reasons. For one, you can learn anytime, anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. You can also go at your own pace, which means you can take your time to really understand a topic. Some courses even offer fun ways to learn, like educational games, songs and animations.

Overall, e-learning is a way to learn things without having to leave your house. It's cool, fun, and educational!
