 WHAT IS DISTANCE
EDUCATION
Distance education takes place when a
teacher and student(s) are separated by
physical distance, and technology (i.e.,
voice, video, data, and print), often in
concert with face−to−face
communication, is used to bridge the
instructional gap.
 DISTANCE LEARNING CAN BE
IMPLEMENTED THROUGH ANY
OF THE FOLLOWING:

Modular Distance Learning

Online Distance Learning
TV-Video/Radio-based Instruction
Blended Distance Learning
 HOW IS DISTANCE EDUCATION
DELIVERED?
A wide range of technological options are
available to the distance educator. They fall into
four major categories:

 Voice − Instructional audio tools include the

interactive technologies of telephone,
audioconferencing, and short−wave radio.
Passive (i.e., one−way) audio tools include tapes
and radio.
Video − Instructional video tools include
still images such as slides, pre−produced
moving images (e.g., film, videotape), and
real−time moving images combined with
audioconferencing (one−way or two−way 1
video with two−way audio).
Data − Computers send and receive
information electronically. For this
reason, the term “data” is used to
describe this broad category of
instructional tools. Computer
applications for distance education are
varied and include:
Computer−assisted instruction (CAI) − uses
the computer as a self−contained teaching
machine to present individual lessons.

Computer−managed instruction (CMI) −

uses the computer to organize instruction and
track student records and progress. The
instruction itself need not be delivered via a
computer, although CAI is often combined
with CMI.
Computer−mediated education (CME) −
describes computer applications that facilitate
the delivery of instruction. Examples include •
electronic mail, fax, real−time computer
conferencing, and World−Wide Web
applications.
Print − is a foundational element of distance
education programs and the basis from which
all other delivery systems have evolved.
Various print formats are available including:
textbooks, study guides, workbooks and case
studies.

 WHICH TECHNOLOGY IS BEST?

The key to effective distance education is

focusing on the needs of the learners, the
requirements of the content. Typically, this
systematic approach will result in a mix of
media, each serving a specific purpose.

 TYPES OF ONLINE DISTANCE
LEARNING
Synchronous: Synchronous means that the
teacher and the student interact with each other
in "real time."
For example, with two-way videoconferences,
students interact with "live" video of an
instructor. Less complex technologies, such as
telephone conversations, are also synchronous.
 TYPES OF DISTANCE
LEARNING
Asynchronous: In this case, the teacher may
deliver the instruction via video, computer, or
other means, and the students respond at a
later time.
For example, instruction may be delivered via
the Web or videotapes, and the feedback could
be sent via e-mail messages.
