Distance Learning
Distance Learning -or Distance Education- occurs when the learner and instructor, or source of information, are separated by time and distance and therefore cannot meet in a traditional classroom setting. Information is typically transmitted via technology (email, discussion boards, video conference, audio bridge) so that no physical presence in the classroom is required. Otherwise it would be hybrid or blended learning. Distance learning can occur synchronously or asynchronously. Also called “Remote Learning”.
