online
'online' and 'digital' both have to do with computers, the internet, and modern technology. 'online' means that something is connected to the internet or takes place on the internet. 'digital' is broader: it describes information, devices, or processes that are handled using computer technology, even without the internet. Learners can easily confuse the words because many digital things are also online. But not everything digital is online: a file on a USB stick is digital, but not necessarily online. 'online' fits when the internet connection is important; 'digital' fits when the technical form or processing is important.
