Online distance learning provides students with a new way of studying. No more travelling to lectures and no more queuing to see your tutor at awkward times. Students now have the ability to share and communicate via a "Virtual Learning Environments" in real-time. This technology enables students instance access to their course material, assignments and grades. You can share information with your fellow students via discussions forums and chat boards, downloads lectures you may have missed or see your tutor any time - morning, noon or night - via online tutors office.
However the best thing about online distance learning is the flexibility. You are able to study where you want, when you want, for long as you want. It's convenient and meets the needs of the learner. Attending lecturers and fitting in with times and dates determined by an institution that is rigid with those considerations is a thing of the past with online distance learning. With online distance learning: you are not confined to a classroom for a fixed amount of time on an agreed date. The flexibility offered by online distance learning opens up the possibilities of gaining and/or enhancing qualifications to a wide range of people who might otherwise not feel able to do so.
Of course you're not left to your own devices. An online distance learning student is supported throughout the duration of their course of study by a dedicated academic advisor, and there are regular opportunities to interact with fellow distance learning students as well as tutors. So although you study entirely online, the courses replicate a real university environment in all ways. The only difference is the ability to study at work, at home, on the move - even on holiday - because the programme of study fits around the student's work commitments and personal preferences.
Another great benefit is that a full range of course are available, from a foundation degree to full degree courses in subjects such as business management, entrepreneurship, marketing, sales management and internet marketing. So if you want to get an Online Business Degree from a leading British university it can be achieved through a programme of distance learning.
Learning and gaining new qualifications has never been so open to all, at a time, in a place and at a pace that suits the learner.
