Social history can be closely related to cultural and environmental history, and classes are often a historical science subdiscipline that emerges as an attempt to better understand marginalized social groups. Studies often include strategies to analyze various communities, cultures and social classes.

Courses are individual classes that can be taken at universities, colleges, junior colleges, and trade schools worldwide. For even greater flexibility, many schools also offer online classes. Students can take individual classes or pursue degree programs.

Online learning refers to use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. With online learning one has the flexibility to access their studies at any time and from anywhere they can log on.
