Distributed learning
is a term used to describe educational experiences that are
distributed
across a variety of geographic settings, across time and across various interactive media (Dede, 2004). It is a culture of
learning
in which everyone is involved in a collective effort of understanding. Distance
learning
is characterized by four characteristics, such as the diversity of expertise among its members who are valued for their contributions and given support to develop, shared objective of continually advancing the collective knowledge and skills, emphasis on
learning
how to learn, and incorporate mechanisms for sharing what is learned (Utsumi, 2005a, b)

It could be said that
Distributed learning
is a form of distance
learning
; however
distributed learning
refers to idea of connecting the different elements involved in the
learning
process through the use of computer networks. These different elements can be persons—not just teacher and learner but a whole range of others—and content, all of which could be dispersed in different locations whether very distant from each other or not. One of the advantages of doing this is that students in special programs do not have to move to special schools—which can be located far away—because all the resources can be accessed online. Another advantage is that schools could offer a wider variety of courses without having to physically bring professors into the classroom, especially when the class size is small.

Although there are numerous similarities between “distance education” and “
distributed learning
,” there is one important characteristic that distinguishes these two models of education. Whereas “distance education” emphasizes the geographical separation of students and instructor, “
distributed learning
” is usually associated with the relative flexibility of access to course content. Students are able to decide when, how, and where they want to interact or engage the course material.

courses, or it can be used to create wholly virtual classrooms.5
