Distance learning provides many positive aspects, including meeting the needs and goals of nontraditional students with responsibilities to career and family that keep them from taking regular college courses. This new method presents a new source of learning and training realm for the adult population. The overall increase in technology necessitates that community organizations, institutions, schools and universities, and agencies that employ and train workers adopt distance training and learning programs. The purpose of this study is to know the perspectives of a group of nontraditional Saudi men and women learners, about the benefits of distance learning programs to adult learners and non-traditional students.
