Flexible Learning andDistance learning

Distance education or distance learning is a mode of

delivering education and instruction, often on an
individual basis, to students who are not physically
present in a traditional setting such as a classroom.
Distance learning provides "access to learning when
the source of information and the learners are
separated by time and distance, or both.
 History
and
development
 Isaac pitman

Pioneer of distance
education in the 1840s
in England.

He taught a system of
shorthand by mailing texts
transcribed into shorthand
on postcards and
receiving transcriptions
from his students in return
for correction - the
element of student
feedback was a crucial
innovation of Pitman's
system.
The University of London was the first university to
offer distance learning degrees, establishing
its External Programme in 1858.
 William Rainey Harper

First president of
the University of Chicago
developed the concept of
extended education,
whereby the research
university had satellite
colleges of education in
the wider community.
In 1892 he also
encouraged the concept of
correspondence school
courses to further promote
education, an idea that
was put into practice
by Columbia University.

Distance e-Learning or DeL, is the combination of
Distance Education and e-Learning which is
characterized by the extensive use of Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) in the delivery of
education and instruction and the use of synchronous
and asynchronous online communication in an
interactive learning environment or virtual communities,
in lieu of a physical classroom, to bridge the gap in
temporal or spatial constraints. Distance e-Learning
combines the strengths and advantages of Distance
Education and e-Learning. "The focus is shifted to the
education transaction in the form of virtual community of
learners sustainable across time.
TEchnology
 Web conferencing

Refers to a service that allows

conferencing events to be shared
with remote locations.
These are sometimes referred to
as webinars or, for interactive
conferences, online workshops.
The service allows real-
time point-to-
point communications as
well as multicast
communications from one
sender to many receivers.
It offers data streams of text-
based messages, voice
and video chat to be shared
simultaneously, across
geographically dispersed
locations. Applications
 Educational television
Use of television
programs in the field
of distance
education.
It may be in the form of
individual television
programs or
dedicated specialty
channels that is often
associated with cable
television in the
United States as
Public,
educational, and
government access (PEG)
channel providers.
 Live streaming

Refers to content
delivered live over the
Internet, requires a
camera for the media, an
encoder to digitize the
content, a media
publisher, and a content
delivery network to
distribute and deliver the
content.
Internet radio (also web
radio, net radio, streaming
radio, e-radio, online
radio, webcasting) is an audio
service transmitted via the Internet.
Broadcasting on the Internet is
usually referred to
as webcasting since it is not
transmitted broadly through
wireless means.
Internet radio involves streaming
media, presenting listeners with a
continuous stream of audio that
typically cannot be paused or
replayed, much like traditional
broadcast media; in this respect, it
is distinct from on-demand file
serving.
 Web-based VoIP

Web-based VoIP is the

integration of voice over
IP technologies into the facilities
and methodologies of the World-
Wide Web. It enables digital
communication sessions
between Web users, or to users
of traditional telecommunication
services.
Instead of using dedicated, hard-
ware based VoIP devices, such
as IP phones, analog telephone
adapters, or integrated
VoIP/Internet access routers,
services are provided via a web
page and the facilities of the
user's computer or hand-held
device for accessing and
operating a locally attached head
set, and microphone.
