This is the simplest and oldest form of distance education. Assignments are mailed to the learner. The learner completes the assignment and returns it to the instructor for grading. Feedback is provided via mail and the next assignment is mailed to the learner. The cycle repeats until the course is completed. This form of education is inexpensive, can be completed anywhere, and has been proven effective.
