Here is a link to an article that highlights the benefits and drawbacks of distance learning.
Distance learning has many benefits to students. For example, classes can be taken anywhere in the country. Students also have more flexibility within the classroom through "flipped classrooms", giving students the ability to learn at their own pace and to take control of their own assignments.
There are also some draw backs to distance learning. Students do not get that face-to-face interaction with the professor so some students may have difficulty processing information if they are not there to have a teacher their to explain it in person. Students also will lose out on the socialization factor of being in a physical classroom with their classmates.
The chapter also talks about the idea of blended learning, the idea that a traditional classroom setting can be combined with online activities.
Online teachers can also use video tutorials and podcasts to convey their information to the students.
Online learning has a world of benefits and has slowly become a regular form of education.
