It's hard to imagine learning without the aid of the Internet, but one can't simply take the Internet everywhere they go. In such cases, keyboard players should invest in books that can be confided in for expert advice and teaching instruction. Books also include popular tablature- a great thing to show off to friends and family when playing popular music on the keyboard.
