The Legal Framework of Online Learning
Georgian general education law regulates online learning through the form of distance learning, and every term entering this sphere is defined in the law. Distance learning is an organised learning process, or a part of it, conducted in a distant or electronic form or through other means of communication, based on information and communication technologies, for receiving general education in a Georgian general education institution or for mastering a subject or subject group provided for by the national curriculum — a process that does not require the simultaneous presence of the student and the institution's personnel in a defined place. This definition is the legal axis around which the organisers of online courses and the platforms operating in this market must build their own compliance structure.
