Distance Learning: A New Way to Study

Getting educated and earning a University degree is becoming increasingly easier as technology expands and creates fresh, new opportunities for individuals. One of these modern development opportunities is ‘distance learning’, or online learning/digital learning solutions, which occurs when a student does not travel to University to learn or study face to face with a professor, but communicates with them remotely over digital networking channels such a broadband instead.

What are the Advantages to Distance Learning?

Distance learning is great for a few reasons; it allows you to decide when and where you study and learn, allowing for maximum flexibility if you have a job or other events to plan around. You can be anywhere to distance learn- from your couch to other countries! Finally, distance learning is often cheaper than a full time degree.

What are the Disadvantages?

Indeed, there are drawbacks to this type of learning. It can be easy to feel isolated and alone, as there is little to no actual contact with others, and no contact at all with other students except for academia. In order to combat this, virtual help groups and discussion rooms are implemented to help students feel engaged to others.

At what Level Can I Distance Learn?

Distance learning is offered by a variety of universities at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level. Both are designed to have the same rigor and intensity as on campus courses.

If you have always felt that you could do well in University, but don’t have the resources to go, now is your chance! Distance learning is quickly challenging the notion that you have to actually physically go to University to obtain your degree. You can search and find University programs online right now!
