Distance learning uses electronic communication to allow students to learn remotely. It has grown popular as it allows for interaction between learners and instructors, and can promote communication through different media like correspondence, recordings, and online platforms. While classroom learning offers face-to-face interaction, distance learning requires dedication as students do not have in-person contact with teachers.
