Produktbeschreibung
Many American colleges and universities have
implemented new forms of distance learning and
education, such as the electronic delivery of
courses or entire academic programs by video,
computer or interactivity through television (ITV).
Individual colleges and universities are considering
whether to make substantial investments in this
technology. In other words, they are circumspectly
deciding whether to maintain or to enlarge classroom-
based academic programs or to substitute electronic
programs, which they believe may offer a variety of
positive financial and academic results. In the
center of this debate, some administrators and
faculty wonder whether distance education may bar
students from the crucial element of interchange
with teachers, researchers, and other students that
prepare students for not only their careers, but
their adult lives as well. Other educators contend
that distance education is just like any other form
of education; it can easily be done well.
