The Distance Education computer-based educational delivery system is a recognition of the technological transformation of the workplace. Currently, certain universities are offering Distance Education courses leading to bachelor and master's degrees in business. At the heart of the Distance Education delivery system is access to the Internet using simple e-mail procedures.
Internet connectivity facilitates a new realm of learning for working adults.
The student completes required assignments, and interacts with both the instructor and other members of the Distance Education learning group engaged in a particular learning activity. Students may spend as long as they wish working on assignments, and to return to them as often as they wish. At any time they choose, students can review and reflect on the transcripts they have stored in their computers. These archives invite students to organize and reorganize the body of ideas covered in the course. Possibly most important, Distance Education frees the student from the requirement for meeting at a specific time or place.
