What is "distance education"?
Distance education refers to a learning model where students receive their education remotely, often through online platforms, without attending a physical classroom. This method allows students to access lessons, resources, and assignments at their own convenience, making education more accessible for those who cannot attend in person due to location, time constraints, or other reasons.
Examples
Many students now prefer distance education because it allows them to study from home and manage their own schedules.
