Abstract

This article discusses the peculiarities of distance learning systems and their primary disadvantages in comparison to traditional classroom learning. The research is based on qualitative descriptive evaluation of both firsthand practical experience and amassed theoretical data on potential downsides and barriers of distance learning that are typically overlooked in commonly available learning management systems. The results of the study may be useful when trying to integrate distance learning technology into educational processes, or serve as a supportive study while performing investigative research on the effectiveness of e-learning.
