text: In theory, "distance learning" is very innovative and allows education to be received anywhere in the world, but it's not practical. Some argue that it is the future of learning but I think that is false. Personal interaction is important to learning and if you aren't actually present during class, it may be hard to feel like part of the class. For example, if you are the only student in the class on a video call, it may feel awkward of weird for them to participate.
