Distance Education as a means of inclusion in Higher Education

The book "Distance Education as a Means of Inclusion in Higher Education" offers a comprehensive analysis of the role of distance education as a pathway to higher education. It highlights how technological advancements and the overcoming of geographical barriers enable students to manage their study time more effectively. Despite the historical stigma of distance education as inferior, this publication demonstrates that the choice of this educational format is not limited to socially disadvantaged groups. Rather, it argues that students who opt for this form of learning often already have access to higher education that is traditionally considered elite. The author, Ivone Ascar Sauáia Guimarães, draws on extensive research to substantiate the quality and professional training standards in distance education, thereby helping to dispel prejudices.
