Some people are calling it distance-free learning for the Medical Assistant.
Distance Learning happens wherever the learner is most available, free from
the traditional boundaries of geography. It could be in the next room, or in
the next state. It uses whatever technology is most available and
appropriate to allow effective learning wherever needed. It changes the
rules. Now, you and your colleagues, the learners, are more able to adapt
and use your newly-gained knowledge for your real world challenges
immediately. Laboratory work is done at your own location.

Typical Methods of Distance Learning for Medical Assistant programs and
other schools include:

One-way video/two-way audio via satellite

Two way video and audio conferencing

Multiple user audio-only conferencing

World Wide Web-based access to educational programs

Internet and e-mail-based distributed educational programs

Online labs using innovative distance education technology (excellent for
the Medical Assistant student)

A critical element of effective distance learning today is the learning
environment. Interaction within that environment can occur by many technical
means: e-mail, fax, telephone, two-way video. Interestingly, this
interaction is becoming more asynchronous Qmeaning it doesn't have to happen
at the same time for all participants.
