What is Distance learning course?

by siffy

Hey friends,
Can anyone tell me about online education? What is it? Who does it? Why people do it? What kind of technology is used for online distance learning? Actually I want to do some courses by distance learning and I don’t have much idea. Please help me in this matter.
Thanks a lot!

Make sure the school has the proper accreditations.

Online learning can be fun. I took my RN to BSN online and took about 16 courses. The technology is relatively simple, Word documents, the ability to view video, most people are already set up with what they need these days.

I did it because I was working full-time night shift at the time and it fit in well with my lifestyle.
