Benefits of distance learning
Manufacturability - training using modern software and hardware makes e-learning
more effective. New technologies make it possible to make visual information bright
and dynamic, to build
the learning process itself, taking into account the active
interaction of the student with the learning system.
The development of Internet networks, high-speed Internet access, the use of
multimedia technologies, sound, and video make distance learning courses valuable
and interesting.
Today, the Internet has firmly entered our lives. Modern education is unthinkable
without computers and the Internet. Most of today's schoolchildren and students
actively use computers and the Internet in their lives and learning.
Accessibility and openness of education - the ability to study remotely from the place
of study, without leaving home or office. This allows a modern specialist to study
almost all his life, without special business trips, vacations, combining with his main
activity. At the same time, focusing on training in the evening and on weekends.
You can study from almost anywhere in the world where
there is a computer and
the Internet.
This makes the learning process more accessible and organizationally much easier
than classical learning. The city where you live may not have the courses you need.
To start distance learning, you just need to find the course you are interested in on the
Internet, register on the site and pay the tuition fees through the bank. On the face of
the simplicity of the organization of the learning process, both for the trainees and for
the organizers of the training, the absence of formal restrictions for the start of
training.
At the same time, a person can study in another country, being on another continent,
at a convenient time for himself, without the need for visas, tickets, hotels.
As a rule, distance learning is cheaper than conventional education, primarily due to
lower travel costs,
living in another city, lower costs for organizing the courses

themselves (no need to pay for a classroom, fewer staff, teachers’ costs can be
reduced, etc. .)
Distance learning is gaining popularity every year. Further
development of distance
learning systems involves ensuring maximum interactivity. In fact, it is no secret that
learning becomes complete only when an imitation of real communication with the
teacher is achieved - this is what you need to strive for.
