 * __ DL - Distributed Learning __**

Distributed Learning (DL) takes place when:
 * a student is primarily at a distance from the teacher,
 * whether he/she is at home; or
 * connected to teachers from another learning facility.

DL gives both rural and urban students improved access, more choice, and flexibility to learn outside classroom schedules. The vision for DL is to provide a quality, dynamic and engaging learning environment that all students can access.

Distributed Learning is a model by which learning and teaching is distributed across a variety of delivery formats and mediums - print, digital (online) and traditional delivery methods - allowing students and their teachers to be separated by time and/or location.
