Distance education allows the student
to access course material, exercises and examinations without the
need of physically attending the training institution. Distance
education has arisen because of large numbers in today's society
who wish to improve themselves, both professionally and for
personal interest. Present-day institutions cannot cope with the
numbers of students, nor with their varied background and
experience. This is why distance education is usually aimed at an
adult learner.
At other times correspondence courses, "open
universities" (through television), audio cassettes, radio
programmes, etc. used the media for distance learning. Today the
internet provides a new and effective electronic outreach to all
those precluded from studying at a fixed time or place.

relations houses and others in corporate communication.
"At XIC, we believe in making media
skills and communications studies available to all who wish
