The newer advanced mass communication channels like Mobile, Smartphones, Internet, Online Video Portals, etc have greatly revolutionized learning. A great example is the Khan Academy which takes education to every doorstep, merely at the click of a button.
The mass communication advances also remove geographical barriers to learning- students no longer need to visit physical locations to learn; they could easily learn from wherever they are. Further, they could set the pace for learning themselves, and study at their convenience.
All above factors, as evident, have greatly benefited distance education system, thanks to mass communication advances.
