问题     Online distance learning is an instructional system which connects learners with educational resources.

While distance learning allows for an openness, it is also difficult because it is done by e-mail messages and writing, and therefore may take more time than face-to-face learning. Sometimes the messages can be overwhelming for many online students.
    Universities, colleges and schools use online distance learning environments. These are important for students who may be unable to attend classes for various reasons like illnesses or busy everyday schedules. Some learners just want to further their studies at home. They enjoy the convenience of home learning as they take regular programs or enrichment classes.
    Online courses keep learners very occupied at all hours of the day. There are a great many messages and other online resources to read and respond to. Most learners have regular jobs or attend regular school classes on ground as well. However, the benefits are clear. Online distance learning is becoming very popular. Some online classes have become a profitable business as they replace regular traditional means of learning.

解析 从第二段可知,远程教育有很多优势,但也有劣势。劣势就是需要以写作来完成的东西太多。另外,此段还提到,远程教育不能进行面对面的教授。因此,喜欢亲临现场听课的学生不会喜欢远程教育。
