Distance Education: Challenge and Response

Distance education has been in existence for more than a century. It is the most industrialised form of education. In distance education the goal of linking of learning materials to learning is at the centre of organisational structure. Thus, it is not merely a fringe form of traditional education—where once the learning materials have been developed and dispatched to the student the job is done. The different forms of distance education can be identified by their use of technical media, and as the basis for the learning materials. Amidst the plenty of literature on the subject this book is unique which brings together latest information on a score of issues which will equip the readers with upto date knowledge.
