Distance Learning

Distance learning provides education without requiring physical presence in a classroom through online classes, videos, video conferencing, or other audio/visual technology. While once seen as inferior, distance learning is now considered by many to outperform traditional in-person instruction. Distance learning offers benefits like flexibility, cost savings, and the ability to learn from anywhere with an internet connection. However, it also has disadvantages such as upfront costs for equipment and maintaining internet access. Asynchronous distance learning allows students more freedom and flexibility to complete coursework at their own pace compared to synchronous learning which requires participating in real-time online sessions.

Distance learning is an educational process where students


receive instruction through online classes, video
recordings, video conferencing, or any other audio/visual
technology medium. It enables people to receive education
without having to be physically present in a classroom.

2
Does distance learning have value?
Absolutely. While distance learning was once considered an inferior substitute
for traditional education, it is now considered by many to be outperforming
traditional classroom instruction.

What are the disadvantages of distance learning?


Distance learning comes with hidden student costs, too. These expenses include:
•Gaining access to a reliable computer
•Having an internet connection
•Buying a web camera (in some instances)
•Computer maintenance
•Utilities (e.g., electricity for internet services)
3
What are the benefits of distance learning?
There are many distance learning benefits. They vary by synchronous or asynchronous
course structures, though.

The advantages include:

Self-inspiration
Flexibility to choose
Adaptability and freedom
Easy access
Earning while learning
Money and time savings
Virtual trips
Communication with other educational institutions

Synchronous vs asynchronous distance learning

 Synchronous
Synchronous means “at the same time.” It refers to a method of education
delivery that happens in real-time. It requires live communication online. It
uses technology, such as teleconferencing, to achieve this. 5

 Asynchronous
As for asynchronous distance education? Students receive clusters of weekly
deadlines. They have the freedom to work at their own speed.
Benefits of asynchronous 20XX
learning  Complement synchronous learning experience

In today’s world, both professors and students realize


that external factors contribute to odd hours and
disjointed schedules. There’s always a need for virtual, live interaction, but
asynchronous communication complements that to

With hectic and unpredictable schedules, faculty can
extend course content beyond the scheduled meeting
and class time through pre-recorded videos and other For example, rather than simply having a Zoom
