Distance Learning

What is Distance Learning?

Distance learning is a method of education where the learner and instructor are physically separated, with instruction delivered through technology such as the internet, video, or correspondence. In workplace learning and development, distance learning enables employees to access training regardless of their location, making it particularly valuable for distributed and remote teams. Formats include live virtual classes, self-paced online courses, webinars, and blended programmes that combine remote and in-person elements. Distance learning reduces travel costs and time away from work while expanding access to development opportunities across the organisation.
