Are you looking to help those who are unable to go to school due to a physical 
disability or are you a student who is unable to go to school? You should look 
into distance education or distance learning.

What is distance education though? Distance education is a field of education 
that uses technology and instructional systems to educate students who are not 
physically able to receive their education. Instead of the student who is 
unable to attend a class either buys the video of a teacher teaching a subject 
or, more popular today, the student watches the teacher over a webcam.

Now that you know what distance education is, when did it start?

The oldest university to use distance education would have to be the University 
of South Africa which has been offering distance education since 1946. It has 
been available since the 1840s in Great Britain though.

The early forms of distance education would use a commercial correspondence to 
deliver the piece of education to the student. Many colleges in America use 
distance education today, although any student can receive it, not just the 
disabled. Many students have at least one internet class a semester which is 
where you *[geo

 stay at your house and watch the teacher teach over a live webcam feed.

If you are going to do distance education it is important for you to know the 
options you have on having it delivered to you. The most obvious choice is for 
you to do what is called virtual classrooms which is where you watch the lesson 
on your laptop over a live webcam feed. You can also order DVDs and VHS tapes 
or just order books or other written print and read them.

There is a difference between open learning and distance learning, but what is 
it? Open learning is when the student is allowed to choose the time and place 
he/she wants to learn. Distance learning is when the student and teacher are 
unable to meet at the same time. This is important because not all open 
learning schools use distance learning and not all schools that use distance 
education are open learning schools.

Distance education is definitely on the rise as many more schools are beginning 
to use virtual classrooms and provide more options for the disabled and those 
who are unable to attend classes. If you are thinking about becoming a distance 
education teacher you should consider it. You will be able to choose the time 
you want to record a lesson and just send it to your students to watch at the 
time they want.

Distance education is a great thing because it allows many students who were 
originally unable to attend school to do so and it also allows teachers the 
chance to teach more students then they would originally be able to teach.
