DISTANCE LEARNING

Prepared by

Abstract about the Report:

Distance education, structured learning in which the student and instructor are separated by time and
place, is currently the fastest growing form of domestic and international education. What was once
considered a special form of education using nontraditional delivery systems is now becoming an
important concept in mainstream education. . Students and institutions embrace distance learning with
good reason. Universities benefit by adding students without having to construct classrooms and housing,
and students reap the advantages of being able to work where and when they choose. Public-school
systems offer specialty courses such as small-enrollment languages and Advanced Placement classes
without having to set up multiple classrooms.

TABLE OF FIGURE
 Location Independent

From anywhere”
One of the most obvious benefits of distance learning it that it can be done from
anywhere there is an internet connection.
Cost:
Moving to another town or city can be costly especially if it is a large capital and may
not even be an option due to work or family responsibilities.
Attendance:
Attending college in another country may also be difficult and costly due to visa
restrictions.

Cost Virtual
Quality education:
Courses can provide a higher quality education at a lower cost. (Saving money)
Travelling:
Without the enormous overheads of a campus, classrooms, equipment, offices and administration,
distance educators can pass these savings on to students.

International Teams

International learning:
By its nature, a distance learning course brings together a more diverse group of students.
Learn about different culture:
This can provide students with exposure to cultural approaches in projects and work that they would not
as readily receive in a conventional education environment.
Higher education:
All of our participants are highly qualified in their respective fields and bring a wealth of experience to
each of our international teams.

 Opportunities
Network opportunities:

A follow-on effect of this more diverse student body is that is provides networking opportunities outside
of what a student could normally expect. Fellow students can become lifelong contacts and friends.
Career:
As each progresses in their own careers.
International network:
They create an ever more valuable network that very often spans the entire globe.

Flexible Learning
Work from home:
Online learning allows students to study flexibly and balance work and home life.
Recording:

All of our lectures are recorded and available for participants to watch 24/7 online and anywhere they
want

International Industry Partner Projects

Digital projects:

International industry partner projects are unique to Digital Skills.

International team members:

 Learn on Your Own Schedule

Freedom of time:
Students now have the freedom to pick and choose their schedule.
Environment:
They are able to learn at their own pace in a relaxed environment.
Selection of time:
Students who learn better in the morning after a good night’s sleep may choose to tackle their harder
subject’s right when they wake up. Students who are night owls may prefer to wait until later in the day,
once they’ve fully woken up and are at full mental capacity.

Job along with studies

Doing jobs:

A major chunk of students who actually opt for distance education are those who don't want to give up
their jobs but want a higher education, too.

Free time study:

Distance education comes as a blessing for such students. You can study on the weekends, when you're
back from work or even in the middle of the night.

Earning:

You get to learn while you earn!
