Distance Learning refers to a field of education that focuses on teaching methods and technology aimed at delivering instruction to students who are not physically present in a traditional educational setting such as a classroom. It involves the provision of a learning system specially designed to be carried out remotely by using a variety of coursework materials and formats that can be accessed online or through mail. This method of education is often used by adults who are unable to attend regular classes due to work, family commitments, or geographical limitations.
