Distance learning relies on online learning. That is true. But the concept is completely different. Merriam-webster.com defines distance learning as “education that takes place via electronic media linking instructors and students who are not together in a classroom.” Wikipedia makes the distinction that “distance education courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason (including taking examinations) have been referred to as hybrid or blended courses of study.” The distinction? If any part of your course requires face time with a student, it’s NOT distance learning.
