Distance Learning

Distance learning is a method of delivering training to individuals who are not physically present in a traditional setting, such as a classroom or on a job site. Also commonly referred to as online learning, e-learning, e-training, computer-based training (CBT), or Web-based instruction, distance learning is the fastest growing sector of the training market, and many resources now exist for designing and implementing distance learning programs. The growth of distance learning is projected to accelerate in the future, as people continue to become more comfortable and experienced with the use of information technology at home and at work, and as organizations continue to seek cost-effective ways to improve learning outcomes.
