Online Learning

With the increased popularity of the internet, online education and distance learning have become more popular and mainstream. The definition of an online education or distance learning program is courses offered online that do not require the student to be on campus for most or all class participation. The courses allow the students to work with course materials at their own convenience or collaboratively on projects using tools like chat and discussion groups (bulletin boards).

Online and distance learning are ideal for people who have full-time jobs or other commitments and cannot take time off for full time studies. By leveraging the internet to deliver rich multimedia instruction along with online communities and discussions, e-learning has the power to increase access to education and training, while reducing learning costs.

The programs offered through distance learning include online courses, accredited undergraduate degrees, post graduate programs and MBAs, language courses, professional continuing education, and other courses that are offered by educational institutions, companies and individuals from all over the world.
