Advantages and disadvantages of distance learning
Is there an advantage to distance education in terms of learning? Yes, there are. Distance learning has two significant advantages. The first is the opportunity to save time on the road to the university and back. For some students, this can be very relevant.

Behind every heated game of Monopoly, every egg-and-spoon race, every track on Mario-Kart, lies the unstoppable tide of evolution.
