Distance Learning
In the mid-19th century America, educators used the postal system to impart knowledge to people who could not attend traditional schools for a variety of reasons. This was the beginning of distance education and it was delivered through the exchange of print-based study material. Those who benefited most from it were students with physical disabilities, people with jobs that made it difficult for them to attend school during work hours, or those who lived in far-flung areas that didn’t have proper schools.
