New Frontiers in Distance Education

This book elaborates the growing importance of education and contemporary solutions to make education accessible to most of the learners. Education has emerged as the primary commodity for socio-economic transformation for both developed as well as developing economies. Thus the number of people going and returning to school has grown making it difficult for existing brick and mortar learning institutes to handle this rising demand. Besides most of lifelong learners do not have the time to turn into full-time students. Therefore distance education is becoming the answer to the above mentioned challenges. It has been described as the mode of study wherein the learner is separated in time and space from the institute and tutors providing the tuition. The book will benefit aspiring students by introducing them with new advances in distance education.
