Many people ask this question– “advantage and disadvantage of distance learning ”. Well there are lots of advantages that distance learning can provide and one of these is that it can provide opportunity for anyone to elevate his educational attainment even when he is at home. This is due to the fact, distance learning can be accessed anytime anywhere in the world– as long as you have an Internet connection. So better opportunity for everyone most especially for those who cannot afford to enroll in a conventional classroom setting.

The Disadvantage is, I think one is, there is no actual interaction between mentors and students. But, teleconferencing, chatting, video conferencing are also viable tools to develop communication skills.
