Why Distance Education?

• GLOBALIZATION
• Institutions that provide distance education services are generally qualified to provide education at a global level. Educational institutions that have been carrying out such activities in Europe (especially England and France) for more than 100 years regularly provide distance education services to citizens working in overseas countries or working in trade.
• PERSONALIZATION
• The most distinctive feature of the Traditional Education system in the East and West is face-to-face communication between the instructor and the student. This type of education is generally organized according to the general level of the group rather than the different intelligence and learning abilities of the students. Customization: The distance education system takes the student from the classroom environment to a position where he can be educated individually. In this system, institutional learning is replaced by learning customized to individuals.
• INDUSTRIALIZATION
• Similar to the establishment of relevant industries to meet the increasing need of a large audience for a product, the opening of distance education institutions has become inevitable in order to respond quickly and effectively to people's increasing educational demands.
• PROVIDING SERVICES TO STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR TRADITIONAL EDUCATION
• Distance education is an education system preferred by millions of people every year around the world. However, it is an expected choice for those who do not have the opportunity to attend class hours at the relevant educational institution in terms of space / time (full-time employees - civil servants, soldiers - those living in a different city / country).
• MOTILITY
• While in the 1980s, fixed computer conferencing systems and two-way video conferencing systems were used to communicate over long distances, today portable computers and mobile phones have begun to be used at a significant level.
• FAST FEEDBACK
• Today, thanks to distance education, students can send their homework via e-mail from anywhere in the world at any time of the day and receive the evaluation results of their work in the same way via the WWW.
• IT IS CHEAP COMPARED TO OTHER EDUCATION SYSTEMS
• Distance education is the cheapest among education systems, unless the investment in infrastructure is very high, the fee per student is higher than in Traditional Education, or there are not enough students to cover the investment cost.
• TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION
• Virtual classrooms can be connected to each other using satellite or compressed video coding or full bandwidth, allowing people to receive face-to-face training even if they are in remote locations.
