Online distance learning courses help connect more and more learners with educational resources.

Attending those courses, students can work on their own at home, at work, or at school and communicate with faculty and other students via e-mail, video conferencing, chat rooms, instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication.There are both pros and cons of using online distance learning environments.
