Hello,

Two of the most popular types of online education include correspondence courses and distance learning while they are similar in many ways there are a few major distinctions between the two including

delivery

pacing and

interaction between instructors and students

•In correspondence courses learning materials are provided by the school to the students prior to the start of the course

•Students receive the materials needed for the course and complete assignments on their own time

•Department of Education is the level of engagement and interaction between instructors and their students and students and their classmates

* Distance learning

•the majority of the course material is delivered by the instructor rather than self - taught by the student

•Similar to an in - person class every student taking the course is on the same timeline for assignments and exams and they will all finish the program at the same time

•the interaction between instructors and students is much more frequent and can happen in real - time

Both types of courses have their pros and cons

Hope it helpful.

Thankyou.
