search for alternatives in educational
experience because formal education has not
successfully responded to development
problems.
 This form of education has also been
employed in a number of and elsewhere with
mixed outcomes.

13. FORMAL EDUCATION
 Formal education is a structured and systematic
form of learning.
 This is the education of a certain standard delivered
to students by trained teachers.
 To make sure formal learning is standardized and
all learning institutions (e.g. schools, colleges,
universities, etc.)
 All teachers are trained and licensed to teach
children, and they’re the same teachers the students
will see every day to keep their education and
training consistent.

15. DISTANCE EDUCATION
 First is the concept that distance education is
institutionally-based.
 This is what differentiates distance education
from self-study.
 The second component of the definition of
distance education is the concept of
separation of the teacher and student.
 Most often, separation is thought of in
geographic terms—teachers are in one
location and students in another.

16. DISTANCE EDUCATION
 Interactive telecommunications is the third component
of the definition of distance education.
 Interaction can be synchronous or asynchronous—at
the same time, or at different times.
 Finally, we examine the concept of connecting learners,
resources, and instructors.
 This means that there are instructors who interact with
learners and that resources are available that permit
learning to occur.
 Resources should be subjected to instructional design
procedures that organize them into learning
experiences which promote learning, including
resources that can be observed, felt, heard, or
completed.

17. COMPUTER BASED
LEARNING
 Computer Based Learning is the version of distance
learning, requiring students to participate at designated
times and places.
 This means that students must touch base at a
designated computer lab, or even meet in an actual
classroom at a pre-determined time.
 The most common form of distance learning is a
program that sets a pre-determined schedule that can
be kept from any location.
 This could mean that students are able to work from
home, school, or the office, as long as they log onto the
online learning site at a designated time.
 These programs often include a live online forum.

18. Cont…
 Synchronous technology is a mode of online delivery
where all participants are present at the same time.
 Requires a timetable to be organized.
 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.
 Synchronous technologies:
 Telephone , Videoconferencing Web Conferencing ,
Audio conferencing , Internet chat.
 Asynchronous technologies:
 Audiocassette, E-mail ,Print Materials, Voice Mail/fax
Videocassette, Broadcast video, Radio, CD-ROM.

19. VIDEO DISK
 A Videodisk (or videodisc) is a digital
recording (e.g. video or audio) on an optical
disk that can be played on a computer or a
television set.
 This technology has been replaced by DVDs,
but there are still working installations in use
for training.
 Videodisks were relatively popular devices in
education before CD-ROMS
and DVDs became popular.

20. ELECTRONIC MAIL
 Electronic mail, often abbreviated as E-mail, is
a method of exchanging digital messages,
designed primarily for human use.
 E-mail systems are based on a store & forward
model in which E-mail server systems accept,
forward, deliver and store messages on behalf
of users, who only need to connect to the e-
mail infrastructure.

21.  An electronic mail message consists of two
components:
 Message header
 The message header contains control
information, including an originators email
address and one or more recipient addresses.
 Usually additional information is added, such
as a subject header field.
 Message body which is the emails content.

22. WHY TO USE EMAIL?

other students and the instructor.

25. Advantages of Computer
Conferencing
 There are a number of advantages that accrue to
computer conferencing.
 Some are advantages shared by other delivery
systems, but some are unique to Computer
Conferencing.
 Some of the advantages are directly related to
the characteristics of the technology itself—
 administrative, logistical, and hardware/software-
based advantages, which might be called “hard”
advantages.

26. Cont…
