Explanation:

Social work education through distance learning began in 1977 at James Madison University, Virginia and the University of South Dakota, U.S.A. Distance learning involves two-way interactive televised communication between an instructor on one geographical location while the learner is on the other side. This mode of learning has several advantages as an instructor does not necessarily have to travel long distances, can teach many students at the same time, and students can access materials remotely and at any time. Distance learning has improved peoples access to education, in line with the learning centred philosophies thus it has created flexible learning opportunities for people from a wide range of background to empower them through education. The system has eliminated barriers such as lack of finance, geographical distance, social and cultural factors such as gender, age, sex, and ethnicity.
