Distance education has expanded with new technologies that allow learning to occur outside the traditional classroom. It focuses on pedagogy, technology, and instructional design to deliver education to students who are not physically on-site. Distance learning creates an educational experience through electronic media or real-time communication to suit students' needs outside the classroom. It provides students flexibility to learn on their own schedule while maintaining responsibilities. Though concerns about quality arise from the lack of in-person interaction, distance education extends opportunities to more learners when integrated thoughtfully with digital technologies.
