Steve David defined virtual education as: a way that enables an individual
to visualize and interact with highly complex data in a computer environment so that the computer generates images, sounds and other sensory effects that collectively constitute a virtual world that does not exist on the ground.
E-learning is a method of teaching using modern communication mechanisms from a computer, its networks, multiple media of sound and image, graphics, search mechanisms, electronic libraries as well as internet portals whether remotely or in the classroom.
So as traditional education includes the student, lecturer, scientific material and the classroom, virtual education includes all these elements in addition to the virtual classroom, which corresponds to the classroom in traditional education and the virtual education student must attend his lectures online regularly and perform his duties and provide the required research on time.
Therefore, many European universities have adopted virtual education as part of their teaching methodology and in the next ten years will strive towards the full orientation of virtual education from these universities.
