Virtual organizations are, by their nature, flexible. Traditional organizational structures are rooted in the physical world and rely on structures, unalterable networks, and specific locations to function properly. Because of this, when it becomes necessary to introduce change into a specific organization, a barrier is reached where further alteration requires physical, costly modifications. A virtual organization is unhindered by these problems. These structures are designed so that they can operate regardless of time or place, independent of existing physical realities.

The literal meaning of this word means the ability to adapt prearranged and prepared procedures to the circumstances. In distance education, learners are a heterogeneous group and possess different characteristics. Plus, these learners may have different learning styles. Most of distance-education learners are adult learners. According to the principles of andragogy, adult learners are normally self-directed learners. They are internally motivated learners. Their learning is usually contextual. However, this is not to say that instructors can only be learning facilitators. When adult learners are inexperienced with a subject matter, for example, computer science, instructors need to be knowledge dictators in order to help learners lay a solid foundation.
