  3. Definition • Distance education is a method of teaching where the student and instructor are separated by time or space, or both. For the purposes of the Distance Learning Council, distance learning is further defined as a formal educational process in which more than half (51%) of the contact hours occur when student and instructor are not in the same place. Instruction may be synchronous or asynchronous. Distance learning may employ any combination of correspondence study, audio, video, or computer and other online technologies.
