text: Firstly, a secure environment will be readily available for the student enrolled in distance learning. If learning can take place in one's own home certain advantages are guaranteed. These advantages include, familiarity with the environment, and quiet during the time of study. Familiarity with the environment allows the student to direct as much focus as possible to the subject that is being taught. Whilst at home the student is knowledgeable of their surroundings which leaves one less thing to be learned. If this were not the case and the student was in a regular school setting then there would be a multitude of distractions such as the classroom. The classroom is constantly vulnerable to disarray, because of the number of students using it throughout the day. If an online video conference is used then these distractions will not be seen by students. Other students will also not be seen which will drastically decrease the number of distraction sourcing from the behavior of others. Additionally, sound may prove to be an issue in the classroom for the same reason of having many more people in the room during learning. During a video call, students will be isolated from other sounds. Often conferences of this nature require push-to-talk, a feature limiting microphone activity to a button press. This will cut down on distractions because, if a student were to push this button and purposefully cause distractions it would be easily taken care of. The combination of the previous example, and the inherent control over sound in one's own home limits sound and assures quiet other than the teacher.
