# EdTech Platform Compliance

## The Statutory Definition of Distance Learning

The legal basis for the compliance of an EdTech platform in higher education is Article 47-7 of the Law on Higher Education. Under this norm, distance learning means the conduct of the educational process in a distant or electronic form or through other means of communication. Distance learning is carried out in the form of synchronous or asynchronous communication — synchronous meaning an interaction where communication between the sender and the receiver of information takes place at the same time, and asynchronous an interaction where it does not.

Understanding this definition matters because it determines what kind of digital solution fits the statutory framework: a platform built on both real-time and deferred interaction is an equally legitimate format.
