The document defines distance education as planned learning that occurs in a different place than teaching, requiring special course design, instruction techniques, communication technologies, and organizational arrangements. It then discusses different types of distance education institutions and programs before outlining the key components of a distance education system, including sources of knowledge, course design, delivery, interaction, learner environments, outcomes monitoring, and administration. Finally, it notes some of the benefits of distance education, such as increased access to learning resources, but also challenges like the work required of instructors, managers, and administrators.
Keys to success in online teaching include:
1) Committing time to fully develop the course before teaching, with faculty-driven design and opportunities for support, training and sharing best practices.
2) The more complete an online course is on the first day and the more time faculty spend developing it, the more satisfied instructors and students will be.
3) Rich interaction between students and instructor, as well as effective course design and teaching practices, lead to successful online learning outcomes.
