learning is a teaching
practice where traditional
class room instruction is

A term used in distance
learning and in
telecommunication that refers
to the exchange of

one may post hours or even
days after the original post.

ATM
ATM or Asynchronous
Transfer Mode is a
networking technology used
to transfer information across
local area networks as well as
wide area networks. It is
mainly used to connect
computers over long
distances.

LAN

is a connection of networks
within a short rage. For
example, all the computers in
the library are connected to a
LAN

ROUTER
A device used to connect
local area networks to wide
