Distance learning refers to learning that takes place some distance from a traditional classroom.
You may not even have to leave home to take the class. This flexibility appeals to many people, who may not be able to attend a traditional class. Fortunately, distance learning can fit into a busy lifestyle, and can accommodate people with a range of disabilities. Many times distance learning is the only way for people to further their education. It can open the door to new careers and abilities, leading to new employment, job advancement, and higher self-esteem.
