#2 Distance Education


1. Traditional/face to face education is an education wherein the interaction between the learner and the educator is on the actual setting of classroom. The educator delivered instruction, ideas and command through interacting personally with the learners without any use of instructional technologies. While distance learning is an education wherein the interaction between the learner and the educator is separated in place they were far apart. By means of various media, multimedia and other technologies the educator delivered the instruction to be followed by the learners.
2.Distance learning has several benefits and these are the following:
1.    The learner can learn and work independently.
2.    The learners have the flexibility to spend the amount of time they choose for each module.
3.    It creates interactions that stimulate understanding and exchange of ideas between the learner and the educator through online.
