Types of Distance Learning

Types of Distance Learning:

There are several different types of home learning, each with its own distinctive features:

Distance Learning: 

Traditional distance learning is very similar to studying a course via a college or university, except that you’ll receive your course materials by post or email and will complete your studies off-campus. You’ll be assigned a tutor, who will set you work to complete, mark your assignments, give you feedback and answer any of your questions.

Self Study: 

Self study is different to traditional distance learning, in that you’ll usually receive your course materials, a voucher to book your exams and not a lot else! If you have the confidence to work through the materials by yourself, and the discipline to keep on track, this can be a cheaper method of study than traditional distance learning, since you won’t have to pay for tutor support if you don’t need it.

E-Learning: 

E-Learning, as the name suggests, puts all your course materials, assignments and exams online. You’ll learn by working through exercises and completing tasks online, and you’ll submit your work via email. Depending on the course, you may also be able to take part in online video presentations, live chat and other interactive features to help you through the course.

    With a lot of online continuing education and certification courses also available in the Internet these days, it could be among the best education systems that COULD integrate other education system that we have globally.
