Distance education

Distance education, distance learning, dlearning, or D-Learning is a mode of delivering education and instruction, often on an individual basis, to students who are not physically present in a traditional setting such as a classroom.

Distance education courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason have been referred to as hybrid or blended courses of study. Massive open online courses, aimed at large-scale interactive participation and open access via the web or other network technologies, are a recent development in distance education.
