31 August - World Distance Learning Day

 

World Distance Learning Day is celebrated on August 31st to recognize and embrace learning that takes place outside a physical classroom. Remote learning is completed entirely online live by an instructor, and hybrid options combine learning online and in the classroom. Both options have given flexibility and opportunities to students around the world.

Distance learning has given more individuals the opportunity to have access to online education, allowing traditional education methods to completely transform. High-quality online and hybrid curricula and courses continue to develop, allowing distance learning options to advance. World Distance Learning Day was created to celebrate learning resources and options that are available to students and to show how far the idea of distance education has advanced.
