Post the pandemic era, distance learning and remote schooling has become an integral part of education. Thanks to the Internet, distance learning is becoming a flexible and affordable alternative for students – especially now that students have a variety of programs and courses to choose from various universities across the world.

Here in this article, we shall explore more about the concept and why it is all the more important in today’s world –

What is Distance Learning?

Any type of learning that happens without the student (or teacher) being physically present in the class is a distance mode of learning. Previously, this was known as correspondence course where students would communicate with their college and teachers through postal mails. Currently, distance mode of learning happens through online mode where both the students and teachers are connected via various communication modes such as mail, messenger, video calling etc.

Central Christian University too offers various distance learning courses for students in almost all the fields starting after Class Xth till PhD.

So, what are the Advantages of Distance Learning?

Flexibility

One of the best things about enrolling in a distance mode of learning is that it is flexible. Students can learn anytime and from anywhere. This becomes all the more convenient for working professionals who have a job and still want to upgrade their education. Besides, there are several options of courses to choose from.

Easy to Access

Whether you lack the basic access to educational facilities, want to pursue courses that are not in your area/preferred college or are looking to pursue a degree from an international institute, distance mode of learning gives you the access to do so. Almost all major universities across the globe are offering certificates as well as degree programs. For instance, anybody wanting to pursue a distance learning course from anywhere in the globe can easily get access to CCU’s graduate, post graduate as well as doctoral program.

No Boundation

Whether you live in a remote area or have no access to things or for some reason need to be at your home, even then you can pursue a distance learning course from the comfort of your place – without having to go anywhere.

Distance Learning Courses Cost Less

Now that distance learning has transformed into online learning and digital learning, this mode of education is literally bringing down the cost of education. Since everything is in the online space and a lot of cost is saved over infrastructure, overheads and other things, online degrees come at a cost that is much lower than the courses offered in regular classes. This is the reason why universities provide the same program in regular as well as distance mode which always have a huge difference in the pricing.
