This document discusses and compares distance education and distance learning. Distance education delivers instruction to students who are not physically present in a traditional classroom setting, often individually. Distance learning refers to classes conducted online or through correspondence without attending a school. While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, distance education focuses more on the transaction between students and instructors, with content often prepared in advance and delivered through various media. The document also provides examples of older technologies like the printing press and newer technologies like smart boards that have been used to facilitate distance education.

distance learning, much (if not all) of the content is
prepared--and in some cases, provided to the
students--in advance, and embodied in printed
materials, audio or videotapes, Web pages, or other
media.
