As a general rule, distance learning courses cost academic institutions less, because lessons can be scaled up and down more easily, and because lessons can be delivered once, recorded, and re-used. In many cases, these savings are passed on to students, meaning distance learning is often more affordable than in-person courses.
This is, in and of itself, one of the most important advantages of distance education, because tuition fees are often one of the major barriers to learning, especially at degree level and beyond. On a very basic level, reducing costs for teachers and students can help more people to access education.
On top of this, it is worth noting that distance learning can help students to save on costs associated with relocating, which is often required to attend a college or university. In fact, students may even have the ability to study while working a full-time job, which can also make course fees affordable and can help students to avoid student loan debt.
