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 > guessr|https://complextime.com/geoguessr-what-makes-it-the-best-geographic-discovery-game/]* > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
