Online and Distributed Learning
In this style of learning, students can connect with a teacher from anywhere they have an internet connection and a computer. It is helpful for some because they can work on their schedule and terms. This approach is called distributed learning (DL).
A wide variety of tools are used to teach students including voice and video conferencing, email, phone, and others. DL schools proves a teacher who works with students to:
Plan and deliver a course
get course textbooks and resources
Assess student progress
Students can complete an entire program, or just a few courses. Another option for families is homeschooling.
