Your question is a bit vague. Assuming you meant "classes" in object oriented programming:
-An object is a computer data structure that contains both data, and the functions or procedures designed to act on and manipulate that data.
-A class is the definition (think blueprint) for an object. Since programs that employ oop create the objects at runtime, a class is simply the definition the program uses when it creates one or more objects of the class type.
-One of the important properties of classes is that they allow for inheritance. So if you have a base class that does most of what you need to solve a certain problem, but you need to extend it to handle a slightly different object, you can create a new class that inherits from the original one. In doing so, it starts with all the data and functions that the parent class had.

In computer programming terms, it's a unit of responsibility (data and behaviour), a model from which objects are created at runtime.

Where did you hear this term? I don't know what it is. Maybe you mean Online Classes? In that case, its just classes you take online.
