else

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'different' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'university that's gone online?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'university' could be 'lse' (London School of Economics) and 'lse' is located in the answer.
'online?' could be 'e' (as in e-mail or e-commerce) and 'e' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for else that I've seen before include "In addition; different" , "As an alternative" , "Eels (anag)" , "Other than (what is under consideration)" , "In addition, besides" .)
