What is distance education?

Distance education is instruction that occurs when the instructor and student are separated by distance or time, or both. A wide array of technologies are currently used to link the instructor and student. Correspondence Courses are offered via Broadcast Television, Satellite, Interactive video, Audio Tapes, Audio conferencing, CD-ROM, and Computer networking—including e-mail, the Internet, and its World Wide Web (E-Learning).

Who are distance learners?

Distance learners are people who, because of time, geographic, or other constraints, choose not to attend a traditional classroom. Financial considerations, family obligations, or work requirements may point to distance education as an appropriate way to meet their educational goals.

Distance learners come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and are of all ages. They turn to distance education largely for convenience. They are highly motivated to succeed and are disciplined enough to incorporate study time into their busy daily lives.

How do I choose a school or College?

After deciding on your educational and career goals, decide what skills, programs, or degree would help you advance toward those goals. Then identify some schools or colleges that seem to offer programs to help you reach these goals. Distance learning technologies assure you that geographical location need not be a factor in your choice.
