Distance learning

          Distance learning is a way for you to earn a degree at  everything  from a certificate program or associate’s degree through face-to-face set of instruction and interaction via the World Wide Web. in my opinion it's  difficult way for learning . I believe that the usual classroom has hindered studies behind it useful than the distance learning because of:

1-    A classroom creates an environment of learning.

2-     Students will not be exposed to the same information equally through distance learning courses.

    Thus, classroom learning is irreplaceable and comparable benefits cannot be obtained through distance learning and online computer programs.

     Many facts says that there are only 15% who uses this distance learning in schools and in all the Arabian colleges because it coast great and not any one could use it.

       There are  many schools that use that system of education, it didn't use it as whole distance learning ,as it make a mix between the school environment and the  high  technology in communicate via the web. That at the morning student go to their schools and every pupil have a computer on his desk have a lesson written in with pictures and sounds And when he returns home he write his homework and send it through email and the teacher then send him his degree and the correct answer. This school make a good system that while pupils are in the class, their fathers can see them in the class while studying.

     There are Counter arguments and opinions about distance learning say that this learning is:

• ·         Costly and complex technology.
• ·         Advance planning.
• ·         Distance learning does not offer immediate feedback.
• ·         Distance learning does not always offer all the necessary courses online.
• ·         Distance learning may not be acknowledged by all employers.
• ·         Distance learning does not give students the opportunity to work on oral.
• ·         There is no social interact between students and teachers.

   Other people say that the classes at the university are a joke, the prof talks a bit and does a presentation, or a couple friends in the class and that distance learning is more valuable than actual classroom hours. That you will enroll in class with people from other states, and hear more issues in education than what you only hear in your state. That you will get the  real languages from them.

    There are an ever-growing number of students nationwide who are taking distance learning  reporting that the experience has enabled them to learn and also taught them something even more valuable a better understanding about their own ability to succeed in the changing educational of higher education but. if you want to take it you have to pay much for this that costs highly.
