learnlink 

1. The addictive email and conferencing client used at Emory University.

I've been on learnlink for 39 weeks, 5 days, 18 hours, 27 minutes and 7 seconds. Can you beat that?

Machine Learning 

1. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm that proposes solutions to a problem after learning from several trial and error attempts.
2. A term that students use at hackathons to sound smart, especially when they actually have no idea what it means.

Example (from a 2011 Hackathon):
C++ Code:
int main()
{

cout<<"Enter your name";

cin >> name;

cout << "Hello, Brian!";
}
Brian: We used machine learning to greets the user, by learning their name.
*Brian won 4th place at the hackathon*

Remote learning 

(noun) An inferior substitute for in-person schooling after it is cancelled, possibly due to a Pandemic or something.

Thanks to Coronavirus, my whole class switched to remote learning. Now every morning I watch my teachers through a gritty, laggy webcam and receive an inferior education, but I still get to pay the same ridiculously high tuition!

Castle Learning 

An online testing program designed by sadists to make students cry and used by teachers who are too lazy to write their own tests. Each question is presented with four choices to chose from and upon confirming your answer, the system with freeze for a random amount of time, in hopes of increasing your heart rate higher than it already is, before telling you that you are wrong.

Student: Did you see there was a Castle Learning due last night at 11:59 pm?
Friend: Yeah, I got a 79%. Most of the stuff we never learned and Yahoo Answers didn't always have the question.
Student: Well, I didn't do it at all.

E-Learning

School work on a computer where the teachers give you 4x as much work as a normal school day. This can be on a snow day or a Coronavirus quarantine day. E-learning days usually result in mental breakdowns and failing grades.

During March 2020, our school had to be shut down to prevent the Covid-19 virus from spreading, so while we weren’t at school we had to E-Learning on our school laptops.

Learning Disability 

A learning disability is a reduced intellectual ability and difficulty with everyday activities e.g. household tasks, socialising or managing money, which will affect someone for their whole life. People with a learning disability tend to take longer to learn and may need support to develop new skills, understand complicated information and interact with other people.

Learning disability is often confused with dyslexia and mental health problems. Mencap* describes dyslexia as a “learning difficulty” because, unlike learning disability, it does not affect intellect.
*The Royal Mencap Society is a charity based in the UK that works with people with a learning disability, founded in 1946 by Judy Fryd.

Distance Learning 

Usually the bottom rung of education and ranges from As Seen on TV correspondence classes to modern day degree mills like Walden University or the University of Phoenix. They are all happy to take your money with the full understanding that you will never actually get a worthwhile degree , diploma or certificate for your money.

I signed up for the Walden University distance learning PhD in Public Policy only to find out that no reputable government organization takes it seriously. What a waste of $4,500.
