Emphasis on learner rather than teacher
-
Two definitions of distance education:
-
Congressional Office of Technology Assessment: "Linking of a teacher and students in several geographic locations via technology that allows for interaction".
-
-
From South Africa: "Distance education is the offering of educational programs designed to facilitate a learning strategy which does not depend on day-to-day contact teaching, but makes best use of the potential of students to study on their own. It provides interactive study materials and decentralized learning facilities where students can seek academic and other forms of educational assistance when they need it".
