Commercial multipoint services are available or multipoint technology can be installed as part of the distance learning system. Analog vs. Digital Today's distance learning technology is a mix of analog and digital technology. These terms refer to the characteristics of representing information in electronic form. Analog is a continuous waveform representation that varies by time and intensity, whereas digital representation codes everything into a binary language of ones and zeros. Voice and video technologies have traditionally been analog.
Computer technology is digital.
The convergence of these media will eventually lead to all digital technology. Telecommunication systems are still a mixture of analog and digital signaling, but will continue to upgrade to all digital facilities. The challenge is to best leverage what exists today within the vision of the digital future. Telephone Technology One of the simplest, most cost effective distance learning technologies available is the telephone. With user friendly equipment, you can access distance learning experiences, interact with experts, receive information updates, and share ideas with almost anyone, anywhere.
