control in Atlanta.

What types of countries can benefit from distance learning the
most and how? Discuss specific examples of how distance learning can be used.
-
The countries that can benefit from distance learning are the
United States, Brazil, and India and so on.
-
Distance learning can be used by lessons delivered through
computers which can be interactive and also gives students real time feedback
on their work and enables them to work at their own pace. Kids often enjoy
working with computers, so when they are in the class room, computers can
create excitement about learning among students.

Another example is that the government aid agencies,
foundations, and private firms sponsor numerous distance education programs to
teach skills to a wide variety of developing country professionals, government
officials, engineers, scientist, and businesspeople. This can strengthen the
people who are called upon to provide leadership in developing countries in a
wide variety of social welfare, economic, and political fields.
