This book is a must read for anyone interested in Distance Education! Part I of the book explores many of the central issues that will be faced by anyone who is involved in developing and implementing a Distance Education course, especially one using an online format. This section provides a wealth of valuable information and guidelines. Part II presents some practical applications of Distance Education in various academic disciplines. These interesting illustrations serve as models for course development and provide further insights into the many practical considerations related to Distance Education. An excellent resource on Distance Education in academia! I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested or involved in this area.
