How Does Distance Learning Actually Work?

Studying without having to put your job, family, or hobbies on the back burner – is that possible? With distance learning, it definitely works.

How studying at a traditional university works is well known. However, with distance learning, the daily study routine looks completely different – depending on the distance learning provider, little or no attendance (presence) at a university or college is required to complete the distance learning program. Students find learning materials on an online learning platform, through which most of the distance learning program is conducted. This creates true flexibility that is not possible with a normal on-campus study program.

Distance Learning Explained Simply

Distance learning offers numerous advantages for you: No entrance exams, you determine the start date of your distance learning program, and you complete assignments and exams when it suits you. For those with demanding professional or personal schedules, attending on-campus lectures and adhering to fixed exam dates is often simply not feasible. Therefore, our learning concept is simple: flexible and stress-free study on your own terms.

With distance learning, you can adapt your learning to your life – in terms of time, location, and your learning pace. This way, you can organize your distance learning flexibly and stress-free, so that you still have time for work, family, and hobbies.

Distance learning has no waiting times, no entrance test, and no fixed lecture times. Instead, all content is available at any time on your e-campus, the POBS online learning platform – in the form of innovative teaching materials, interactively prepared scripts, and performance assessments such as homework and online exams. Everything you need for your distance learning program you already have at home – a PC, laptop or tablet, and an internet connection.

Distance learning programs are also viewed very positively by many employers – because further education alongside work and family shows commitment, independence, and initiative.

All study content is available at any time on the online learning platform. You work on these whenever you have time – whether after work, during your summer vacation, or on weekends. You are not bound by fixed times and can completely organize your distance learning and your learning speed yourself. For this reason, distance learning is particularly suitable for working individuals, family people, or those with time-consuming hobbies.

Thanks to the high flexibility of distance learning, valuable time can still be spent with family and friends, hobbies can still be pursued, and working hours do not have to be reduced. There is no fixed study duration, so you can complete the distance learning program at your own learning pace. At the same time, you can also learn efficiently – on long commutes, on planes, or during other waiting times.

Even with exams, distance learning differs from traditional on-campus study in terms of flexibility. With distance learning, you are not bound by exam dates or fixed times – you complete the exams anytime online and without prior appointment with our course instructors. So you can take your exams from home at any time of day or night.

To prepare for the exams, learning platform are available to you on the POBS various learning materialslearning videos, audio preparations of courses, and interactive exercises help you quickly grasp what you’ve learned.
