3 major differences between online & distance education?

There is a big difference between online and distance education. Online education is offered totally in online mode, no need to visit the university for examination, assignments submission and project submission. While in distance education, the candidate must visit the university for examination, assignments, and project submission. In Online education, the candidates will get the lectures and live classes online on weekends, while there is no such provision in distance education. In Online education, you get study material and full support from the teaching faculty, live interactive sessions, and help from the staff just like in on-campus education mode, however, in distance education, the support from the universities and interaction by the universities is minimal.
