Drawing upon some basic concepts such as distance education, online instructor skills and certification, benefits and drawbacks of distance education, the main argument of the paper is as follows: In a world of globalization and technological evolution, new digital communication technologies have emerged, making an impact and changing the way we work, relax, trade, learn, educate and communicate with each other.
