"In defining distance learning its' best to look at what industry experts have to share in terms of insight. Sloan Consortium (2005) in its landmark report, Growing By Degrees: Online Education in the United States, 2005 explored the definition of distance learning. In its definition the Sloan Consortium created a table showing the progression of distance learning by the proportion of content delivered online. Table 1 provides the Sloan Consortiums' key insights in the definition of distance learning."

"Most organizations recognize the value of training; however, the contemporary business environment, as a consequence of globalization and other factors, dictates that these organizations structure training in the most cost-efficient way possible (?Training Trends to Cost Effectiveness,? 1997). For some organizations, the most cost-effective approach to obtaining high-quality training is through outsourcing, which increasingly may involve Internet-based training. Many organizations outsourcing training have ?been impressed with the results. Rather than keeping program designers, administrators and trainers on staff, they have worked with outside trainers who act as an off-site training department. These off-site providers partner with clients to perform a whole range of duties from assessing training needs, to designing appropriate solutions and providing administrative support."

Abstract
This paper discusses how web-based training is an extension of computer-based training which takes advantage of the immediacy of the World Wide Web and the ability to reach large numbers of people at the same time regardless of where they are located. It proposes a study on the ways in which training may be adapted to benefit from innovations in information technology (IT) and the advantages such adaptation may provide for both organizations and trainees. Through an extensive literature review, it attempts to identify factors that contribute to either the success or failure of web-based training systems.

"An organization is a community. Social interactionists conceive a community as a social group, and that within the community as a social group, individuals develop both their own self-concept and individual identity through social interactions within the community structure (Levine, 1991). Identity refers to self-meanings in a role. Roles are shared norms applied by occupants of social positions. This development, according to social interactionists, allows a person to move from a personal perception of ?I? (the spontaneous self) to a personal perception of ?Me? (the social self), through a role taking behavior wherein the person assumes the role of the generalized other. Through this behavioral process, the person derives meanings from the nonverbal actions and verbal statements of significant others within the community structure."

Abstract
The primary focus of the proposed research study is not on the specifics of the technologies involved in web-based training, although the technology applied is of obvious importance to the training mission. Rather, the primary focus of the proposed study is on the ways in which training may be adapted to benefit from innovations in information technology (IT) and the advantages such adaptation may provide for both organizations and trainees.

"Training is one of the most critical aspects of a company?s operations, yet it is also one of the most problematic. Companies, particularly large organizations, must develop ways to ensure that existing and new employees receive information that they need to perform their jobs at the appropriate time and in an appropriate manner. Timing, however, is critical. The employees should not receive the information too soon or too late. If the former occurs, employees may forget the information, while in the latter event, a strong probability exists that employees will have already learned the material in a less effective manner.
Companies commit a significant portion of their resources to recruiting employees, and additional resources are invested in providing those employees with the tools necessary for them to perform their tasks. The environment of most organizations, however, is a dynamic one, and it is critical that individual employees be kept up to date on developments within their industry and their profession in order to help give the company a competitive edge (Davis, 1996). Companies use training in order to accomplish this outcome."

"One downside of real-time technology, according to Fritz (1997), is the constant availability of an instructor, and scheduling WBT sessions so that the students and instructors are on-line at the same time. However, real-time, client server systems software, such as WBT Systems' Top Class, Network Publishing's N/able, and Centra Software's Symposium are a new breed of WBT development tools that are addressing problems associated with real-time technology. This new breed of software incorporates email messaging, discussion groups, and shared whiteboards to enhance communication."

Abstract
This paper explains that, because a large number of corporations and schools, now using traditional face-to-face classroom training, are looking to increase the convenience and to improve the quality of instruction while decreasing costs, they are switching from the traditional form of training and instructional materials to web-based methods and materials. The author points out that management seeks recommendations toward curriculum changes based on the result of the proposed research to assess students' performances and preferences between these methods of delivery. The paper reports on the procedure and findings of a completed small pre-research project, which concluded that web-based training will be in demand.

Abstract
This paper explains that the intention of Hsu and Hsieh's research, "An Exploration of Scenario Discussion in a Web-Based Nursing Course", is to develop a nursing course to meet the needs of nursing students in technically advanced health care settings where scenario discussions, web-based instruction (WBI) and assessment of learning outcomes are the priorities. The author points out that this type of nursing course is intended to correspond to the realities of contemporary nursing and to equip students for a very different role from that to which nurses in the past have been accustomed. The paper commends the logical progression from the literature review to the research purpose in that the literature supports the purpose. The author reports that Hsu and Hsieh used a combination of quantitative and qualitative designs. The paper states that this study should be redesigned to separate the learning processes and learning outcomes from development of the scenario discussion website because the latter is given inordinate emphasis.

From the Paper
"Even the demographic profile of the participants is largely concerned with exposure to the Internet. Participants' feelings such as anxiety or frustration due to lack of familiarity with scenario discussion consistently were given prominence. The four themes were based on responses to the open-ended questions and were concerned with both positive and negative experiences. Positive experiences included enhanced knowledge, rich content, and integrated information; negative reactions mainly were related to an inability to identify crucial information or poor recall of information. Reactions by participants ranged from satisfaction with new learning and thought patterns to stress and irritation. The researchers were equally concerned with attitudinal and institutional barriers encountered by the participants to online learning as they were with the beneficial aspects of the teaching platforms. The outcomes of this study are expressed in subjective terms such as satisfaction, frustration and anger."

From the Paper
"Increasingly, colleges and universities in the United States are requiring undergraduate students to either own outright or at least have continuous access to a personal computer to take advantage of the enormous amount of educational resources available on the World Wide Web (Deollos & Messineo, 2005). Furthermore, many of these educational institutions are supplementing or even replacing their traditional delivery methods with Web-based applications, and these so-called "digital natives" (Prensky, 2001) of the 21st century will be well situated to take advantage of these innovations in educational technology. In this environment, though, many educators may be reluctant to invest heavily in one Web-based approach over another, given that dynamic nature of the educational software industry as well as the rate at which new hardware is being introduced to the market that might make their investments quickly obsolete or ineffective (Sheidet, 2003).

"The natural health practitioner's practice is quite different from that of medical doctors in that much of the homeopathy is based upon the patient's response to questions posed by the practitioner. Consultations require a one-hour period of time limiting the number of patients the practitioner is able to see in a day. Another means of conducting consultations would prove to be invaluable in terms of healthcare delivery to the patient base of this clinic. This system would furthermore allow quicker feedback and results to be filtered to the patients and would end the incessant waiting until their next appointment to receive results, feedback or instructions for their healthcare needs."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed exploration of web-based surveys and their usefulness in reducing the cost of business research. The writer explores several aspects of web-based surveys, including performance and comparison to traditional type surveys. The paper describes that electronic surveys speed response and increase the range of participants.
From the Paper
"Information gathering comes in many different forms. There are benefits and problems with each type of information gathering. Using a test group can be beneficial but is often costly and limited in its scope of use and consequence. One of the most common and popular types of information gathering tools is the use of a survey. Surveys can provide a wide range of information that can be used to understand the past, predict the future and decide what changes, if any, should be made. Surveys are popular for many reasons and are successful in their purpose. The technological explosion of the last few decades provided the world with a much wider frame of reference for gathering information. The Internet allows those who want to gather information to do so in electronic format. Web-based surveys are useful for several reasons including speed of responses, range of participants and the ability to have a more complicated format from which to gather the information."

Literacy and Web-Based Education, 1998.
A first-person essay of an educator's experiences with, and suggestions for direction in teaching literacy using the world wide web.

Abstract
The essay introduces Gayatri Spivak's term "subaltern" to describe those who do not have access to a computer and thus do not have access to the literacies of learning online. It makes the analogy of the world wide web to a post-colonial space -- an area conquered and developed by a certain group, and having the culture of that group imposed upon a larger population, and then having been abandoned by the conquerors, leaving the native group with an artificially grafted and imposed culture which they did not formerly know. The essay describes teaching literacy via the web to those without a computer background as a pedagogy of the oppressed. It cites statistics that show that the web is dominated by the U.S., embraced by Europe, and virtually unused by the vast majority of most of the globe's population. The essay discusses initiatives which might give a voice online to the subaltern. In conclusion, the writer suggests that until the non-western world is embraced by the world wide web, the potential of the web as an influence on global education will remain overlooked.
From the Paper
"Here, though the issues involved are not simple, I want to try to explain the problem in straightforward terms. A number of scholars have demonstrated to us the complexity of access to discourse in learning environments; Lesley Rex, for example, recently completed a dissertation under the direction of Judith Green which uses discourse analysis to explore complications of access in a secondary English classroom. In Rex's study, General students had to learn to take up the spoken and written discourse practices of Gifted and Talented students to learn a rigorous academic curriculum. Imagine, now, if, beyond the issues of gaining opportunities to participate to become proficient identified by Rex, this school classroom was difficult to attend for students, either because they could not afford to participate or because they could not find the support they needed to be successful in their studies once they did manage to enroll. Even more to the point, what if the teacher might not be able to recognize their presence, even when they did attend? "
