The term 'remote courses' became significantly more prevalent in both English and Portuguese after the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021), when many educational institutions globally shifted to online delivery. In Brazil, 'cursos remotos' and 'cursos à distância' are both widely used, though 'cursos online' has gained popularity among younger generations. In Portugal, 'ensino à distância' or 'cursos à distância' remain the traditional terminology. This shift reflects broader acceptance of digital education methods in both cultures, though traditional classroom-based education is still highly valued.
