Distance Education is a developing education delivery system. It has now becoming an alternative to traditional classroom teaching. In fact, it is an opportunity for those who were prevented from attending classes due to their family obligations. Distance education is intended primarily to meet the educational needs of students prevented by work or family obligations. The students at distance prefer to control the pace of their learning through independent study. They neither need structured learning experience nor interaction with the professor or other students.
