Distance learning

Distance education or distance learning is a mode of delivering education and instruction, often on an individual basis, to students who are not physically present in a traditional setting such as a classroom. Distance learning provides "access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance, or both.

History and

development

Isaac pitman

Pioneer of distance education in the 1840s in England.

He taught a system of shorthand by mailing texts transcribed into shorthand on postcards and receiving transcriptions from his students in return for correction - the element of student feedback was a crucial innovation of Pitman's system.

The University of London was the first university to offer distance learning degrees, establishing its External Programme in 1858. 

William Rainey Harper

 First president of the University of Chicago

developed the concept of extended education, whereby the research university had satellite colleges of education in the wider community.

In 1892 he also encouraged the concept of correspondence school courses to further promote education, an idea that was put into practice by Columbia University.

Major Benefits

Major benefits of use Distance education provides major benefits to at least six main markets or categories, such as:

•Expanding access•Cost reduction•Emerging market opportunities•Adapting to new technology and environments•New fund-raising opportunities•Flexibility for students

Distance e-Learning or DeL, is the combination of Distance Education and e-Learning which is characterized by the extensive use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the delivery of education and instruction and the use of synchronous 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.

TEchnology

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

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.

Live streaming

Refers to content delivered live over the Internet, requires a camera for the media, an encoder to digitize the content, a media publisher, and a content delivery network to distribute and deliver the content.

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.

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.
