crucial innovation of
Pitman's system.

by Columbia University.

Communications Technology (ICT) in the delivery of

and asynchronous online communication in an
interactive learning environment or virtual communities,
in lieu of a physical classroom, to bridge the gap in
temporal or spatial constraints. Distance e-Learning
combines the strengths and advantages of Distance
Education and e-Learning. "The focus is shifted to the
education transaction in the form of virtual community of
learners sustainable across time.

10. TEchnology

11. Web conferencing
Refers to a service that allows
conferencing events to be shared
with remote locations.
These are sometimes referred to
as webinars or, for interactive
conferences, online workshops.
The service allows real-time
point-to-point
communications as well
as multicast communications
from one sender to many
receivers.
It offers data streams of text-based
messages, voice
and video chat to be shared
simultaneously, across
geographically dispersed
locations. Applications

12. Educational television
Use of television
programs in the field
of distance education.
It may be in the form of
individual television
programs or
dedicated specialty
channels that is often
associated with cable
television in the United
States as Public,
educational, and
government access (PEG)
channel providers.

13. Live streaming

Internet, requires a
camera for the media, an

distribute and deliver the
content.

14. Internet radio (also web
radio, net radio, streaming
radio, e-radio, online
radio, webcasting) is an audio
service transmitted via the Internet.
Broadcasting on the Internet is
usually referred to
as webcasting since it is not
transmitted broadly through
wireless means.
Internet radio involves streaming
media, presenting listeners with a
continuous stream of audio that
typically cannot be paused or
replayed, much like traditional
broadcast media; in this respect, it
is distinct from on-demand file
serving.

15. Web-based VoIP
Web-based VoIP is the
integration of voice over
IP technologies into the facilities
and methodologies of the World-
Wide Web. It enables digital
communication sessions
between Web users, or to users
of traditional telecommunication
services.
Instead of using dedicated, hard-ware
based VoIP devices, such
as IP phones, analog telephone
adapters, or integrated
VoIP/Internet access routers,
services are provided via a web
page and the facilities of the
user's computer or hand-held
device for accessing and
operating a locally attached head
set, and microphone.
