History: Distance Education • The earliest distance delivery system 1800’s correspondence courses. • Books and assignments delivered to students via postal system. • 1890s Distance Degree Programs • 1920s Distance Delivery enhanced by Radios constructed at educational institutions. • 1950s televison,1970s PBS/ITV, and cable technologies, 1980-today-Digitial technologies

Alternative Delivery System • Distance learning methods and media enhance traditional instruction. • Adaptations evolve into innovative classroom methodologies and alternatives. • Technology-supported delivery to classrooms across district implemented by technologies and are typical of distance education. • Examples: Instruction transmitted has a facilitator present who assists with logistics and student support.

Support Technologies • Technologies can be used to support instruction. • Telephone-low tech while others, such as Internet-based compressed videoconferencing, are emerging high-tech options. • The key to selecting technologies is t look for those technologies that provide same-time communication formats and explore them for their adaptability to distance education.

Enhance Traditional Classrooms • Distance education provides interaction and enhances independent learning. • Example, Biology- dissect frogs. • Online interactive Frog Dissection. An Online Tutorial, developed by Mable Kinzie and associates, uses distance learning methods in a regular classroom or can be used for a virtual dissection.

Issues in implementing Distance and Alternative Delivery Systems • Two key aspects to readiness: First- teachers and students prepare for new roles. • Second type of readiness relates to being prepared to use the technologies selected to support these new environments. • Distance education participants may need additional training.

Reinventing the Classroom: The future of Distance Education. • Technology is changing our society, and society putting new demands upon our schools. • one aspect of change is our perception of a classroom. • classroom walls • Traditional and nontraditional classrooms will evolve and may be completely reinvented to better address our changing world.
