Distance Learning
- takes place when a teacher and student(s)
are separated by physical distance and technology (e.g. voice, video, data)
- a.k.a. Distance Education (DE)
- common profile of a distant student:

Distance Learning
- Success is dependent on:
– creativity and skill of the course developer – bandwidth – hardware capabilities

Distance Learning
- Why is DL not popular?
–computer networks are costly to develop –technology is changing rapidly –high requirement for motivation and proficiency in computer operation for successful function in a computer-based distance learning environment

Distance Learning
- Costs of Implementing DL
– Technology – Transmission – Maintenance – Infrastructure – Production – Support – Personnel

Distance Learning
- How is distance learning delivered?
– technological options:
- Voice
- Video
- Data
SLIDE 7

Distance Learning
- Technological Option: Voice
– includes the interactive technologies of telephone, audio-conferencing, and short-wave radio – Passive (i.e., one-way) audio tools include tapes and radio
SLIDE 8

Distance Learning
- Technological Option: Video
– includes still images such as slides, pre- produced moving images (e.g., film, videotape), and real-time moving images combined with audio-conferencing (one-way or two-way video with two-way audio)

Distance Learning
- Technological Option: Data
– computers send and receive information electronically – for this reason, the term "data" is used to describe this broad category of instructional tools
SLIDE 10
10
Distance Learning
- Technological Option: Data
– computer applications for distance education are varied and include:
- Computer-assisted instruction (CAI)
- Computer-managed instruction (CMI)
- Computer-mediated education (CME)
SLIDE 11
11
Distance Learning
- Technological Option: Print
– is a foundational element of distance education programs & the basis from which all other delivery systems have evolved – print formats: textbooks, study guides, workbooks, course syllabi, and case studies
SLIDE 12

Distance Learning
- Computer applications for DL fall into four
categories
– Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) – Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) – Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) – Computer-based Multimedia
SLIDE 13
13
Distance Learning
- Computer Assisted Instruction
– uses the computer as a self-contained teaching machine to present discrete lessons to achieve specific but limited educational objectives – modes: drill and practice, tutorial, simulations, and games
SLIDE 14
14
Distance Learning
- Computer Managed Instruction
– uses the computer’s branching, storage, and retrieval capabilities to organize instruction and track student records and progress – need not be delivered via computer
SLIDE 15
15
Distance Learning
- Computer Mediated Communication
– describes computer applications that facilitate communication – examples: electronic mail, computer conferencing, and electronic bulletin boards
SLIDE 16
16
Distance Learning
- Computer-Based Multimedia
– hypermedia – integrate various voice, video, and computer technologies into a single, easily accessible delivery system
SLIDE 17

Distance Learning
- The Internet & Distance Learning
– electronic mail (e-mail) – electronic bulletin boards – world wide web (www)
SLIDE 18

Distance Learning
- Instructional Possibilities of the Internet
– using e-mail for informal one-to-one correspondence – establishing a classroom bulletin board
SLIDE 19

Distance Learning
- Instructional Possibilities of the Internet
(cont..)
– engaging students in dialogue with other students, faculty, and researchers by encouraging them to join a bulletin board – developing a classroom home page
SLIDE 20

Distance Learning
- Teaching Considerations
– access to the internet – computer hardware and software literacy/proficiency – Internet application proficiency (e.g. email, electronic bulletin board, etc.)

Distance Learning
- Web Development Procedure
1.Determine the type of product and platform 2.Assemble components. 3.Conduct reviews. 4.Implement the site.
SLIDE 22

Distance Learning
- Web Development Procedure
1.Determine the type of product and platform
– 1.1 Determine which of two major types of content structure
– Asynchronous: analogous to computer-based courseware delivered to the desktop on demand (the entire content is resident on a LAN or WAN. – Synchronous: all students are online, taking training at the same time.

Distance Learning
- Web Development Procedure
1.Determine the type of product and platform
– 1.2 Choose the development platform, language, editor, or software appropriate to your technical specifications
- 2. Assemble components.
– Create storyboards and assemble and link web pages according to the map
SLIDE 24

Distance Learning
- Web Development Procedure
- 3. Conduct Reviews
– Perform QA reviews, debug, and test the web pages for adherence to the map
- 4. Implement the Site
– put the site online using a web server software (e.g. Apache) and a dedicated server
