Distance learning, also known as distance education or D-Learning, enables education delivery remotely to students who are not physically present in a classroom. This method provides access to learning across time and distance, often with flexible schedules and lower costs. However, it has disadvantages, including reduced social interaction and potential employer skepticism about online degrees. Key technologies supporting distance learning include asynchronous and synchronous platforms, mobile learning, and various applications like Skype and Blackboard that facilitate collaboration and educational engagement.
