Distance-Based Instructional Plan

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the concept of distance-based education has become one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing segments of both university and graduate level educations; even many educational institutions that once considered themselves to have long histories with traditional classroom-based learning have begun to expand their existing programs because of technology advances like the internet. The author points out that, although, in the past, it was often considered that students learned more in traditionally based programs than in distance-based programs, distance-based educational programs have been shown to be just as difficult as any brick and mortar classroom setting and, in many instances, may actually offer more of a challenge than traditional counterparts. The paper states that success measurements should be getting students enrolled and successfully through the program plus surveys of students and teachers regarding the ease of use and system reliability.

From the Paper:

"The world has adjusted to the internet. Consider that local area networking and the internet has changed life to a point where a music download site like KaZaA has approximately one hundred sixty million users worldwide that have downloaded some version of the company's proprietary software. America is now at point where almost all business people are required to check daily emails and their children download internet music and housewives bargain shop on eBay. The advances in technology like file swapping are skills now just taken for granted. The individuals who take these skills for granted are the potential students for a program like this."
