Understanding Distance Education Concept

Distance education refers to learning that happens when students and instructors are separated by physical location.

This mode of learning is characterized by:

  • Flexibility in time and place of study.
  • Reliance on technology (like internet, mail, broadcast media) for instruction delivery.
  • A separation between the learner and the instructor.

These features distinguish it from the conventional, face-to-face classroom model. Therefore, distance education is best described as a new and non-traditional approach to education.
