چکیده:
As there is a great improvement in technology, the demand for innovative
ways of delivering education is increasing and this has led to changes in
learning and teaching methods. Distance education, which is so different
from traditional education, consists of studying from home where students
and teachers are physically distant while classroom learning is the type of
education system in which the learners and the teachers work under one roof.
Electronic means are used to keep students in touch with teachers, provide
access to communication between students and bridge the gap and distribute
educational material though distance learning programs. Both learning
systems have their own advantages and disadvantages. Choosing between
these two learning methods highly depends on learners’ requirements. In this
paper, the researcher aims to discuss history and theories of distance
learning, review literature on distant learning, state advantages and
disadvantages of distance learning, express implications of the study to
learners and teachers, and finally mention suggestions for improving
distance learning.

Finally, Anderson extensively examined the importance of interaction in all forms of learning and referred to a number of mostly distance education theorists such as Holmberg (1989), Moore (1989), Moore and Kearsley (1996), and Garrison and Shale (1990).
New tools and techniques, e-learning, new courses, and instructors are playing an important role in distance education and increasing the satisfaction level of students (Ali, 2011; Sabir, Akhtar, Bahadur, Muhammad Sajjad, & Abbas 2014).

According to Traxler (2018), in formal distance education, there is enormous potential for widening access to higher education and increasing the diversity of student population since online technologies provide opportunities to learn anywhere, anytime from anyone.
Moreover, the complicated nature of the technology used in distance learning only limits online education to students who are computer and tech savvy.
2. Communication with students on distance learning programs requires special attention, due to the fact that this type of study involves the increasing use of asynchronous video communication, as well as a lack of personal contact, which is essential for the development of trust (Dennen, Aubteen Darabi, & Smith, 2007).
