Mega analysis: Distance learning education impact on self-discipline

The influence of technology on teaching and learning is becoming more and more evident in educational institutions. Distance learning refers to the teaching and learning situation in which the instructor and learner are engaging in interactive instructional settings when they are separated geographically and by time and place[5][6][10]. Distance learning takes advantage of currently available technologies to achieve two main objectives: (a) providing equitable access to quality education and (b) meeting the unique learning needs and styles of individuals [1]. Both the instructor and student rely on electronic devices and print material to deliver and receive instruction. This paper presents the relationship between distance learning and self-discipline and how it can be implied in practice.
