Advantages of Distance Learning

  • Scheduling Flexibility and convenience:
    Most forms of distance learning (but not all!) do not require you to physically be in a physical classroom at a certain time each week.

  • Universal access: Most forms of distance learning (again - not all!) allow you access to course materials at your convenience.

  • Self-paced learning, depending on class and medium

  • Travel savings: With the rising cost of gasoline, you can save money and not have to drive to campus one more time a week, or for video conferencing classes, you do not have to commute to remote campuses for class.
