3. 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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Issues in implementing Distance and Alternative Delivery Systems  Two key aspects to readiness: First- teachers and students prepare for new roles. 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.

8. 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. 
