What is distance education?

Open learning is a dream which can be achieved through distance education for they complement each other. There are various teaching methods which are covered under distance education. Here, the teacher and student can be connected through the teaching and learning process though they are separated by time and space. Our main objective is to provide quality education to our students through enjoyable & enriching learning, which help their career development & also suit their job. With the help of distance education courses, many students can continue their desired courses from anywhere.
Method of learning
Here, the learning takes place without being physically present in a classroom as in the case of the traditional mode of learning process. Various media resources including CD-ROMs, audio video clips, radio, satellite, television or printed material are delivered to the students through post at their doorstep. Therefore, the curriculum is transferred to the student through self-study method. This mode of teaching and learning requires self-learning by the student as per the guidelines. This process includes the different transactions of knowledge without taking the regular classes.
Communication between the teacher and student
The students and teachers can communicate with each other through telephonic or interactive chats or emails and it also includes postal correspondence. There are some classes held where face to face interaction takes place that are held at the study centres. The student gets the flexibility over time and place of study and also over the method of learning . He/ she can choose the combination of courses as per their interest. When the restrictions are less, the freedom to acquire is more. Here in this system of open learning, education is provided to the students without any restriction or inequality.
Due to the planned methodology and less restrictions in the process of admissions, the students of different categories can enrol themselves into these types of educational programs. Therefore, we can say that ODL has been based on openness using the distance mode of learning
