Distance education provides flexibility for students and increased access to learning opportunities. It uses both synchronous technologies like videoconferencing and asynchronous technologies like message boards. There are benefits to both students and institutions, but distance education also faces challenges like social isolation and ensuring academic integrity.

3. Distance education a process to create and provide access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance, or both

4. Major benefits of use Distance education provides major benefits to at least six main markets or categories, such as: Expanding access Cost reduction Emerging market opportunities Adapting to new technology and environments New fund-raising opportunities Flexibility for students Financial benefits

6. What are the Benefits of Distance Learning? Distance education meets the needs of students flexibility and time . increased access to learning / encourage life-long learning . increased compensation/ promotion potential Students have access to experts Instructor communication use of email use of local proctors Financial benefits social benefits

8. Today, higher education is a necessity for those who wish to work and prosper in an economy that is becoming dependent not on sheer muscle power, but on brain power. Today, the workforce is rewarded for how well and how fast problems are detected and solved, (Saba Ph.d, 2001). Get the skills you need to compete in today's workplace.

9. Technologies used in delivery The types of available technologies used in distance education are divided into two groups: synchronous and asynchronous . Synchronous technology is a mode of online delivery where all participants are "present" at the same time requiring a timetable to be organized. Web Conferencing is an example of synchronous technology. Asynchronous technology is a mode of online delivery where participants access course materials on their own schedule. Students are not required to be together at the same time. Message board forums, e-mail and recorded video are examples of asynchronous technology.

11. Synchronous technologies Web-based VoIP Telephone Videoconferencing Web conferencing Direct-broadcast satellite Internet radio Live streaming

12. Asynchronous technologies Audiocassette E-mail Message board forums Print materials [19] Voice Mail / fax Videocassette / DVD On Demand Streaming (Delayed)

14. Learning Management Systems Learning Content Management Systems which can be used for both Synchronous and Asynchronous learning. (LMS is not so much a learning tool as a framework for an instructor to better administer the classroom.)

15. Types of distance education courses Correspondence conducted through regular and electronic mail Internet conducted either synchronously or asynchronously Telecourse/Broadcast, in which content is delivered via radio or television CD-ROM, in which the student interacts with computer content stored on a CD-ROM PocketPC/Mobile Learning where the student accesses course content stored on a mobile device or through a wireless server [20] Integrated distance learning, the integration of live, in-group instruction or interaction with a distance learning curriculum [21] Online tutoring

17. Testing and evaluation The problem arises when the student is required to complete assignments and testing. Online courses have had difficulty controlling cheating in quizzes, tests, or examinations because of the lack of teacher control

19. Security in Testing Used in combination with invigilators, a pre-arranged supervisor trusted with overseeing big tests and examinations may be used to increase security. Many Midterms and Final examinations are held at a common location so that professors can supervise directly. When the Internet became a popular medium for distance education many websites were founded offering secure exam software and packages to help professors manage their students more effectively

23. 7 Success Strategies for Distance Learners

24. Distance learning has special challenges. You will probably never see or meet the teacher. You won't have classmates. You don't have a campus full of people studying the same thing. But you can succeed! Plan on it! Follow the simple tips below, and you'll do better in your learning.

25. 1. Set Goals 2. Establish a Regular Study/Learning Schedule 3. Talk About It 4. Join a Study Group 5. Know Your Learning Style and Use It 6. Celebrate Successes 7. Ask Questions

26. How to Implement Curriculum for Distance Learning Programs Instructions Create new user posts or manual. Create a syllabus for the curriculum. Use active instruction . Provide reliable grade time turnarounds. Request and respond to student feedback.

27. distance education disadvantages requires costly and complex technology requires advance planning . may come with hidden costs may not be acknowledged by all employers learning is social isolation .
