Distance
education (DE) takes place when an instructor and student are
separated by physical distance, and various technologies (e.g.,
Internet, videoconferencing, etc.), are used to bridge the distance.
These types of instructional delivery systems can provide nontraditional
students with a second chance at a college education, and reach
those disadvantaged by time constraints, physical disability,
or remote geographical location. Sometimes called distance learning.
