When we compare formal education and distance education; In formal education, lessons are taught in a classroom environment, whereas in distance education, lessons are taught via a virtual classroom. In formal education, students are given face-to-face assignments and projects to do research, while in distance education, assignments and projects are given via a system called (Learning Management System). In formal education, midterm and final exams are held face-to-face so that students can be evaluated, while in distance education, exams (in the form of project assignments) are held via the internet.

Distance Education is a learning method prepared as an alternative to traditional learning methods. In this method, there are efficient programs developed for students. It is an institutional education activity in which students, teachers and teaching materials in different places are brought together through communication technologies. Thus, students who want to continue their education life can easily continue their education through information technologies without making any spatial changes.
