Online Distance Education

Distance education is, simply, a form of education where the student is enrolled in a class or course of study, but receives instruction at home or some other site that is remote from the location of the school or university. Distance education got its start in the 19th century as correspondence courses. The term “correspondence course” is now largely outdated, although some consider “distance education” to refer primarily to courses that involve some form of telecommunication or computer technology. In fact, the days of distance education solely by mail are practically at an end.

Now, distance education is dominated by computers. Using computers and the Internet both to administer and partake in distance education simplifies, streamlines, and speeds up the process. Often (but not always, as we’ll see below) distance education refers to some form of university education or advanced degree. But really, distance education is a generic term that can be used to describe any type of education received remotely, including high school degree programs.
