Distance Education Advantages

Distance education is a teaching method in which communication and interaction between those who plan and implement educational studies and the learners are provided from a certain center through specially prepared teaching units and various environments, in cases where it is not possible to carry out in-class activities due to the limitations in traditional learning-teaching methods.

Again, we can define Distance Education as follows; It is an institutional education activity that brings together students, teachers and teaching materials in different places through communication technologies.
