Distance education, or distance learning, is a field of education that focuses on the pedagogy and andragogy, technology, and instructional systems design that aim to deliver education to students who are not physically "on site". According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, “is a process to create and provide access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance, or both.” In other words, distance learning is the process of creating an educational experience of equal qualitative value for the learner to best suit their needs outside the classroom. Rather than attending courses in person, teachers and students may communicate at times of their own choosing by exchanging printed or electronic media, or through technology that allows them to communicate in real time and through other online ways[2]. Distance education courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason including the taking of examinations is considered to be a hybrid or blended course of study. This emerging technology is becoming widely used in universities and institutions around the globe. With the recent trend of technological advance, distance learning is becoming more recognized for its potential in providing individualized attention and communication with students internationally.

Which college has the fastest and cheapest distance learning program?
Q. I have been trying to finish my degree for years. I have been taking CL EP examines for the past several years. I find they take to long to study for. I have researched many distance learning colleges. Most of them I could not afford. I was planning to get my degree from Excelsior College. I have found this college may not be able to meet my needs.

A. Charter Oak State College in Connecticut is an online distance learning college that is known for being one of the most affordable online colleges, probably sue to the fact that they are a public college. There is an tuition comparison chart on their site ( ) that shows they are cheaper than Excelsior per credit. Charter Oak can be very fast, as they will accept almost any college credit you already have towards a Charter Oak degree.

Which distance learning course would give a qualification that could lead to job with special needs children?
Q. Am considering a distance learning course that would enable to me to eventually get a foot in the door to working with special needs children. Which would be the ideal course to take? Child care & development? Teaching assistant course? To those that have already been there and done that which courses did you take?
Asked by Dolly P - Fri Jan 16 06:29:56 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I have worked in Special Needs Education for 17 years. Initially as an Support Worker and now an Learning Support Assistant. I don't believe that any training can fully prepare you and you really need to get some on the job experience. My employer offers CACHE training which is equivalent to NVQ. There are 2 levels and take approximately 2 years. Very worthwhile doing at the same time as working with the children.
