Is there any difference in meaning between the following sentences?

1: Learn English with online help from volunteer teachers all over the world.

2: Learn English with online help from volunteer teachers throughout the world.

In both cases, to be absolutely clear you need "from" before all over and throughout. Otherwise it is unclear if it is the leanring English that is all over/throughout the world, or the teachers who are from all over/throughout the world.

That means otherwise they both mean the same thing.
