What's the difference between online learning and correspondence courses?

Online learning and correspondence are both ways of studying a course by distance education. With online learning, all course assessment tasks occur or are submitted online. If you've got access to a computer with an internet connection, you're ready to go! Course materials can be delivered online, or you might receive them in the mail.

With correspondence courses, materials such as course reading and assessed coursework are delivered to you in the mail. You need to have a postal address that you can easily access while you study. For more information, check out SEEK Learning's range of correspondence courses.
