Abstract

Non-face-to-face education has rapidly increased and become common due to the development of information and communication technology and mobile devices to help respond to COVID-19. Non-face-to-face education is conducted using various media such as telephone, bulletin boards, video materials, e-mails, chats, video education, and virtual reality. The most important feature of non-face-to-face education is its ability to provide comprehensive education to an unspecified number of people without obstacles of time and space given availability of the Internet and associated devices. Advantages include student anonymity, efficiency, high accessibility, spontaneous intervention, and ease of post-monitoring. Limitations include restrictions on nonverbal expression, the need for technological development, discriminatory accessibility, and ethical issues. Efforts to develop high-quality programs should be made continuously along with multilateral research on non-face-to-face diabetes nutrition education.
