Australia is a very big country, and many of the Australian people live lots of kilometers from the nearest store, hospital and school. The children who live far away from everything of course also have to go to school. Children who live these places maybe has to drive two or three hours to get to school every day, the whole year around. Thats why the long distance schooling was invented.
When you are in a long distance school, you get teached over the webcam on a computer, through Skype for an example. Tests and other examinations is sent to her or him over the computer by email. Ones in a while the children need to go and see the teacher for real, to make sure that curtain skills and knowledge is being communicated in the right way. So the teaching requires some face to face contact. Distance learning in Australia covers most academic areas. So this mean, that no matter how long apart from a school people are, they will always have the chance of an education like anybody else. If this kind of teaching wasn’t invented lots of children would have a problem today, but thanks to our highly loved technology, this is possible.
