Scope of advanced studies with distance learning

Oxford dictionary defines education as an “enlightening process”, “the process of receiving and  giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university.” For the overall development and maturity of a person, education holds an important place in our lives. When it comes to college education it becomes all the more essential to select the right course and right form of learning.  In the contemporary times, when people have really become busy with tight schedules, pursuing regular classes is well-nigh impossible. Correspondence course or distance education has really come in handy in such cases. Correspondence courses started in 1728., when Caleb Phillips, a teacher, posted an ad in the Boston Gazette newspaper that he is searching for students who are willing to be receive weekly lessons. Correspondence courses break the barriers of distance by providing content that is beneficial, cheap, and very useful. Although it flexible and easy, distance learning requires a lot more effort to complete it successfully.

Advent of newer and more advanced technologies, has made distance learning easier and faster. Nowadays, instructors can send the module (in PDF format) to the students through e-mail. The students, on the other hand, can send their course works through the same medium. The course material is regularly updated and improved, the messenger, chat facilities, and other applications and social networking sites have made interaction with the teachers and students much more convenient. This enables students under the same course to have group discussions about difficult topics. More people in all age groups are getting the benefit of being educated and are acquiring more degrees because of distance learning courses. As Diana Oblinger in her book “THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION” rightly pointed out that distance learning can be a catalyst for a more competitive and innovative market for education.
