Riassunto

The book provides both solid theory and practical considerations for the planning and implementing of distance learning programs. It presents the fundamental concepts of distance learning, planning program development, and the basic technologies used. The author blends historical and theoretical background with the most current applications and technologies being used today, to paint a current and complete picture of distance learning in the educational environment. Emphasis is placed on distance learning application and program development in its entirety, as opposed to focusing on a single component, to give viewers the “big picture” and a comprehensive explanation. Case studies in each chapter help spark interest and enthusiasm for the topics covered. The book concludes with a guide to designing a web-based distance learning course that will assist users who want to develop their own distance learning courses or modules. For individuals interested in distance learning—with an emphasis on planning and administration.
