When the Education System started many centuries ago, there used to "Gurukuls" and the studies used to be with the help of Gurus using very basic infrastructure.At that time one has never thought of the future of education with "Schools" and proper infrastructure.

Distance Education not only widened the reach of education, it also encouraged people to pursue studies even if they can not go to formal schools/ colleges on regular basis.
As Distance Education continued to spread its wings humans invented computer and in conjugation with the internet computer became a very powerful tool in the education system.
