Web-based learning is a viable platform that offers diverse delivery methods to cater to different types of learners, surpassing the limitations of traditional classrooms. Moreover, it holds significant influence by providing opportunities for unique learning styles and enhancing students' academic performance. Through the web-based learning platform, teachers can effectively plan lessons and create user-friendly digital resources for evaluating and assigning tasks while automatically tracking the progress of individual students or the entire class. These platforms are comprehensive e- learning solutions, integrating various software tools to transmit and receive new knowledge, skills, and attitudes. They primarily aim to stimulate and guide learning by leveraging computers and internet connectivity. There are several differences between web-based learning and traditional learning. One notable distinction is that web-based learning utilizes virtual environments, allowing individuals to host and sell online courses. Students can choose the platform that best suits their training needs. This paper aims to compare past practices and emphasize the importance of focusing on learners, learning, and the technologies and emerging pedagogies that offer enriching and innovative learning opportunities for the future. Furthermore, this article provides a historical comparison between web-based learning and traditional learning. Additionally, the study conducts a systematic literature review that delves into the history of e-learning, web platforms, e-learning tools, and their evolution from earlier to the present.
