Mode of delivering education to students who are not physically present Distance education, also known as distance learning, is the education of students who may not always be physically present at school,[1][2] or where the learner and the teacher are separated in both time and distance;[3] today, it usually involves online education (also known as online learning, remote learning or remote education) through an online school.
A distance learning program can either be completely online, or a combination of both online and traditional in-person (also known as, offline) classroom instruction (called hybrid[4] or blended).[5] Massive open online courses (MOOCs), offering large-scale interactive participation and open access through the World Wide Web or other network technologies, are recent educational modes in distance education.[1] A number of other terms (distributed learning, e-learning, m-learning, virtual classroom, etc.) are used roughly synonymously with distance education.

Distance learning has successfully integrated new communication technologies several times in the past: previously, distance learning providers were faced with the choices of sending their staff to the learner, shipping them increasing quantities of study and research materials, or investing heavily in audio and video broadcast technologies.
Broadcast capabilities especially helped to revolutionize the scope and capability of distance learning programs - but at a tremendous financial cost, and with a number of restrictions on the learner. 1.
