Distance education is an important educational paradigm that expands educational opportunities and provides students with a comprehensive learning experience. It has many advantages such as expanding educational networks by eliminating geographical and socioeconomic barriers, providing flexibility of location and time, providing students with access to a variety of educational resources that provide personalized learning opportunities, allowing them to progress at their own pace and receive feedback from the instructor, tailoring the training to their specific interests and needs, interacting with teachers, and engaging in collaborative activities with colleagues. In this context, current research and resources on distance education were examined in this study. By analyzing the results of previous research and case studies, the benefits of distance education and future trends were determined. In this way, inferences were made about how distance education can be developed and how educational institutions can adapt to this change.
