Online course or distance learning, what's the difference?
Online courses: These courses are provided online in a virtual campus environment. Courses commonly start and end on fixed dates and you have to register by assigned registration dates. These courses commonly require a minimum number of participant and the students attend an online forum during specified weeks. Distance learning: Learning course materials are commonly provided online (or on CD's or DVD's), but the students do not have access to a virtual campus. Students communicate with a tutor by email, phone or instant messaging. You can register at any time and take the course according to your own time allocation.
