What is distance education or distance learning?
Distance Education (DE), also known as Distance Learning (DL), implies learning from a distance, usually from home or from an off-campus site. It allows you to earn college credits, or entire degrees, without leaving home.

Can I earn a Degree Online?
The level of degree or certificate that you can earn through online distance learning depends on the school and particular field in which you are interested. There are programs available for degrees at the Associate, Baccalaureate, Master, and Doctorate levels, as well as professional certificate programs and Continuing Education Units.

What technology do I need for online distance learning?
As the name suggests, the most important thing is to be online. You should have a computer, accessing the Internet and its various resources via some type of connection (dialup, T1, ADSL, etc.). Schools have different technological requirements for the online courses they offer. You will have to ask your school about them, but it would hardly require any special equipment or IT knowledge that you do not already use in your everyday computer work. You will most likely also need a printer for your own convenience, a sound card and speakers for lectures delivered as real-time video over the Internet, a word processor, a web browser, an e-mail program, and instant messenger.
