The comparison between the distant-learning and the traditional college education The arriving of the Internet has changed people's working and living styles. Nowadays, more and more people tend to receive remote education, because this education system enables individuals obtain a diploma successfully at home. Although distant-learning education differs from the traditional college education, the former one possesses its own merits. Compared with traditional education, distance education is more flexible, thereby making more people accepting education possible. The distant-learning students can study by watching videos, which can be paused and replay times when the students encounter issues, until they understand the content in videos completely. Meanwhile, courses of the remote education could be accessed 24 hours every day and 7 days every week, so this is an ideal approach for students who are seldom available, as long as they have the access to the Internet. The development of the remote education also enable the tutors and the students interact seamlessly. Students can inquire questions in the virtual classroom by interactive communication tools, as well as sending email, therefore, they can get the guidance from the teachers as to complete the courses smoothly. Even more, they can communicate with scholars from reputable institutions over the globe, though these scholars are not actually in site. On the other hand, the primary deficiency of the distant-learning is students' communication skills could not be improved because generally there is no group assignment in the virtual classroom. Moreover, students finish their work independently. As a result, those who rarely have the chance to know other classmates would not be able to build up a network of contacts, which might impact these students' work life adversely. Remote education allows college eduction more accessible, because of its flexibility. However, this education system also has its shortages, like the lack of interaction, so it would not bring out the equal learning outcomes to the traditional college education.
