WHAT IS DISTANCE EDUCATION?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is the nature of questions that they are easier to ask than to answer. This is true of the
\nquestion \u201cWhat is distance education?\u201d for at least several reasons. First, distance has mul
\ntiple meanings, although this book advocates the definition presented earlier and in. Distance can mean geographical distance, time distance, and possibly even
\nintellectual distance.<\/p>\n

\nSecond, the term distance education has been applied to a tremendous variety of programs serving numerous audiences via a wide variety of media. Some use print, some use
\ntelecommunications, and many use both. Finally, rapid changes in technology challenge
\nthe traditional ways in which distance education is defined.<\/p>\n

\nTraditional education takes place at the same time in the same place. This is typically
\nthe regular self-contained classroom that most often is teacher centered. Different-time,
\nsame-place education means that individual learning occurs in a learning center, or that
\nmultiple sections of the same classes are offered so students can attend the class in the same
\nplace at a time they choose. This is education that is available at different times to students
\nbut in the same place, such as the media center or computer laboratory.
\nThe last two categories focus on education occurring in different places. Instruc
\ntion can be delivered to different places at the same time when telecommunications sys
\ntems are used. Often, television is used to connect the local classroom with the teacher
\nand students to learners at a distance. Satellite, compressed video, fiber-optic systems,
\nand webcasting are increasingly used for same-time, different-place education. Increas
\ningly, web-based video systems such as Zoom are being used to deliver live instruction.<\/p>\n
