The document discusses distance technologies used for distance learning. It defines distance learning as teaching/learning that occurs when the teacher and students are separated by physical distance for some or all course instruction. It describes different categories of distance education based on time and place (same/different time, same/different place). The document also lists pros and cons of distance technologies, and discusses keys to effective distance education design and delivery. It concludes that distance education can be as effective as other forms of instruction when learning is incorporated and various technologies are used, including print, audio, computer, and video-based methods.

2. WHAT IS DISTANCE TECHNOLOGIES

 No interrupting job/career

6. Cons of Distance Technologies
 No Instructor face time

 Requires New Skills/Technologies
 No Social Interaction
 Making Time
 Little Support
 No Campus Atmosphere

7. Distance Technologies
 Distance education is as effective as any other form of
instruction in which learning in incorporated and should be
retained.
 There are several keys to distance education in different design,
development, and delivery as well instruction and the time

8. Distance Technologies
 Distance education teachers should push for success, it should
be their mainstream approach. It is imperative if one is to
succeed in Distance Education.
 Distance education uses telecommunication technologies as a
emerging field.
