THE CHALLENGES OF BUSINESS EDUCATION IN DISTANCE LEARNING
Abstract
for research. Research associated within the realm of distance learning can be even more difficult to use as there are different environments with a variety of characteristics. Distance education is the fastest-growing mode of formal and informal teaching, learning, and training. Its many variants, that is, the tools for
distance learning include e-learning, mobile learning and online learning and so on. This paper implemented a mixed method analysis of research articles to find out how they define the learning environment. The paper reveals that there are different expectations and perceptions of learning, and business education being a special course is now trying to fit into these new technologies. Our discourse
will therefore end with conclusion and recommendations on the way forward.
