When do we use online as one word and when as two words? For example, do we say :"I want to go online or on line?"
What is a very general term or phrase for a course that is not online?

4 I'm trying to find the most general term or phrase for the opposite of "online course". When a course is not online, but in a classroom, or anywhere else people interact in the same place, not through a computer, how would I call it? I'm translating some words used in messages and labels in a e-learning web application used by companies.

There is an application, named "Discord", for online conversation. Does discord have another meaning which is probably more suited for the application, or is the application intended for disagreement?

Not sure I agree with that. If I say "Michael Jordan was the best ever" I don't mean he was the best up to then, and there may have been someone better since.

So, staying online can include phone calls, but it includes a bunch of other things too. So, if only talking about a phone call, I wouldn't use it in that sense.

Your original is correct as-is, except you need to remove the question mark at the end because it's not a question. What I imagine you are already thinking: The sentence ends with a string of "wh-" noun clauses. These clauses are not questions, so the last one should also not be a question. "Which one is the best" is obviously a question format, so it makes sense that " which one the best is ...
