text: The second reason for my argument is students who live in remote locations or have inflexible schedules can still attend school. By allowing distance learning for these students, like my previous argument, they can keep up with their education despite their circumstances. A similar concept in the workplace is VoIP, which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. If an employee is in a remote location but still needs to keep up with their company, they use VoIP calling to meet with coworkers over the internet and collaborate on whatever work needs to be completed. Likewise, a student who lives in an area that may be too far away from any schools can use online conferencing to stay connected. It may even be cheaper than having to pay for transportation and supplies at a school they can't attend easily.
