FREMONT, CA: Distance learning can be defined as a type of remote education as the students do not have to be physically present in the classroom. In recent times, the demand for remote learning is booming primarily because of the increasing use of the internet. Furthermore, the students also get the opportunity to choose from different courses, which is a flexible and affordable option for education. In comparison with the traditional style of teaching, there are numerous benefits of remote learning.
Today, the internet is successfully blurring the lines between far and near due to which distance learning can transform the present situation of education. Now the students have more options than ever before, and they can learn everything with the help of the AI-driven teaching algorithms to the simple message boards.
