10. SUMMARY
 The technologies used for distance education fall into two categories: telecommunications technologies that
connect instructors to distant learners and classroom technologies that record, present, and display
instructional information. Increasingly, video- and computer- based systems are being used. Most often,
teachers and students use classrooms that have been designed and installed by others. However, the effective
utilization of distance education classrooms requires a new set of skills for most educators and learners.
Teaching with technology to learners who are not physically located in the same site where instruction is
taking place requires a dif- ferent set of skills and competencies than traditional education. Technologies are
tools that must be mastered to be effective.
