From the Paper:

"The interest in distance education has increased significantly over the past three decades. Advances in technology have made distance education much more possible and rewarding than ever before. Web-based instruction provides the ability to learn about topics that otherwise would have to wait until college or would have to be taken through outside courses at additional time and expense to the students.
In recent years there has been a merger between distance education and technological advances(Schrum, 2002). "
