What is Distance Learning?
The term 'Distance Learning' describes the process of undertaking educational classes or programs remotely from the schools, campuses or physical institutions that provide them. Teachers and students may communicate by exchanging printed or electronic media, or through technology that allows them to communicate in real time.

It may include the use of web-based teaching materials and hypermedia in general, multimedia CD-ROMs or web sites, discussion boards, collaborative software, e-mail, blogs, wikis, computer aided assessment, educational animation, simulations, games, learning management software, electronic voting systems and more, with possibly a combination of different methods being used. Distance learning courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason including the taking of examinations is considered to be a hybrid or blended course or program.

Types of Distance Learning Courses

  • Correspondence conducted - through regular mail
  • Internet conducted - either self-paced or real-time

  • CD-ROM where the student interacts with computer content stored on a CD-ROM
  • PocketPC/Mobile Learning where the student accesses course content stored on a mobile device or through a wireless server
