Abstract

Distance education is a flexible option that, thanks to the new information technologies that have been developed, offers the possibility of studying without the need to attend the classroom in person. New advances in information technologies have allowed a great development in distance education because now various resources and teaching strategies are incorporated that allow the student to obtain better knowledge by having the opportunity to interact almost directly with the teacher and with their other colleagues, through forums, videoconferencing sessions and learning platforms. This type of education offers students the advantage of being able to use their time to carry out their normal activities, although this implies a great discipline, commitment, willingness and self-learning to carry out the activities in a timely manner, as well as the responsibility of looking for materials that may be necessary for each subject. Normally, distance education is seen as an alternative for those who could not meet training needs at a certain school age and who now have the need to pursue higher-level studies without having the time to resort to a conventional education system. At the same time as carrying out their work activities, professionals have the freedom to manage their time so that they can learn the necessary subjects for each career and thus obtain a university degree that undoubtedly represents a great achievement and the possibility of improving the opportunities of obtaining a degree. Better job.
