HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW MOST FAMOUS
CELEBRITIES FINISHED THEIR SECONDARY AND
TERTIARY EDUCATINON DESPITE THEIR HECTIC WORK
SCHEDULE? WELL, IT IS THANKS TO THE POWER OF
TECHNOLOGY AND ONLINE EDUCATION. IN THIS
LESSON, YOU WILL GET TO KNOW THE
UNDERPINNING CONCEPTS OF DISTANCE
EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY ONLINE LEARNING, WHERE
TECHNOLOGY IS A KEY PLAYER. YOU ALSO EXPECT TO
SURVEY SOME RESEARCH ABOUT ONLINE EDUCATION
AND HOW TECHNOLOGY SHAPES THE LIVING PATH
OF DISTANCE EDUCATION.
DISTANCE AND
ONLINE LEARNING
DISTANCE EDUCATION (DE) HAS
EVOLVED THROUGH SEVERAL
HISTORICAL STAGES, FROM
CORRESPONDENCE EDUCATION TO
PRINT, RADIO, AND TV, TO THE USE OF
TELECONFERENCING, COMPUTERS ,
MULTIMEDIA, AND SO ON UNTIL ONLINE
LEARNING, INCLUDING MASSIVE OPEN
ONLINE COURSES (MOOCs).
 WE CAN DEDUCE THAT DISTANCE
EDUCATION EMBRACES ALL
INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY MODALITIES
WHERE THERE IS A SEPARATION
BETWEEN THE TEACHER AND THE
STUDENTS. DISTANCE EDUCATION,
THEREFORE CAN BE PICTURED OUT AS AN
OVERARCHING INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY
THAT USES ONE OR COMBINED
MODALITIES LIKE BROADCAST MEDIA,
CORRESPONDENCE, AND THE INTERNET.
KAYA AND TAN
(2014) POSITED MANY
ADVANTAGES OF
DISTANCE EDUCATION

SOME OF THEM
INCLUDE THE
FOLLOWING:
FACILITATION OF MASS EDUCATION-
refers to a system of education that
aims to provide formal learning
opportunities to larger number of
individuals, often addresing
disadvantaged children and ensuring PROVISION OF VARIOUS
access to education for all EDUCATION OPTIONS -
ALTERNATIVE PROVISION,
SPECIALIST RESOURCE
PROVISION, AND
PERSONALIZED LEARNING.

PROVISION OF INFORMATION FROM

THE FIRST SOURCE- OBTAINING
INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM THE
ORIGINAL ORIGIN OR PERSON WITH
FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT A
TOPIC
 RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PROVISION OF MINIMIZING THE
INDIVIDUALS FOR THEIR COST-EFF ECTIVE INEQUALITY OF
LEARNING - EACH PERSON IS
EDUCATION - IT INVOLVES
ULTIMATELY ACCOUNTABLE OPPORTUNITY -
FOR THEIR OWN EDUCATION FINDING WAYS RO
ESSENTIALY CREATING A
AND DEVELOPMENT. OPTIMIZE EDUCATIONAL
PRACTICE AND MINIMIZE SYSTEM WHERE EVRYONE
FACILITATE THE UNNECESSARY COST TO HAS A FAIR CHANCE TO
INDIVIDUALS FOR AN MAKE EDUCATIONAL SUCCEED REGARDLESS OF
ACCESSIBLE TO A WIDER
INDEPENDENT LEARNING - THEIR ORIGIN OR
POPULATION.
PROVIDE CLEAR LEARNING CIRCUMTANCES
RAISING A STANDARD IN
GOALS.
EDUCATION PROGRAM - A
PROVISION OF AN ENVIRONMENT STRUCTURED INITIATIVE
WHERE MAXIMUM LEARNING IS AIMED AT IMPROVING THE
POSSIBLE - CREATING A SPACE OR OVERALL QUALITY OF
SETTING THAT ACTIVELY EDUCATION WITHIN A SCHOOL
ENCOURAGE AND FACILITIES DEEP OR DISTRICT BY SETTING
LEARNING BY MINIMIZING CLEAR HIGH EXPECTATIONS
DISTRACTIONS. FOR STUDENTS LEARNING.
 BECAUSE (DE) CAN BREAK GEOGRAPIHICAL
BARRIERS, MAKING EDUCATION BOUNDARLESS,
MANY SCHOLARS BELIEVE THAT DE IS COST-
EFFECTIVE AS COMPARED TO THE TRADITIONAL
CLASSROOM MODE OF TEACHING AND LEARNING.
 WHEN WE TALK ABOUT “ONLINE
DISTANCE EDUCATION” ON THE OTHER
HAND, WE MAY DEAL WITH A BROAD
SPECTRUM OF WHAT CAN BE TERMED
AS ONLINE DISTANCE EDUCATION.
DIFFERENT TERMS HAVE BEEN
RELATED TO THIS CONCEPT, LIKE WEB-
BASED LEARNING, VIRTUAL LEARNING,
INTERNET-MEDIATED EDUCATION, AND
COMPUTER BASED EDUCATION. IN 1986,
KEEGAN ADVANCED SOME SILENT
FOUNDATIONS OF (DE) THAT INCLUDE
THE FOLLOWING;
 1. TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ARE SEPARATED. THIS CASE
DECIPHERS ONLINE (DE) FROM TRADITIONAL FACE TO FACE
INSTRUCTION.
2. THE ACADEMIC INSTITION CAN STILL INFLUENCE THE
DYNAMICS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ONLINE DE. THIS
DISCRIMINATES AGAINST SELF-STUDY AND PRIVATE
TUTORING.
3. IN ORDER TO DISTRIBUTE ACADEMIC CONTENT, TEACHERS OR
FACILATOR SHOULD UTILIZE A COMPUTER NETWORK.
4. TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF
ONLINE DE THROUGH THE USE OF A COMPUTER OR WEB-BASED
TECHNOLOGY. IN THIS WAY, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS CAN
REACH EACH OTHER ANYTIME.
COMPONENTS LIMITATIONS, AND FUTURE OF
DISTANCE EDUCATION
A DE SYSTEM MUST INCLUDE “ALL THE COMPONENT
PROCESSES THAT MAKEUP DISTANCE EDUCATION
INCLUDING, LEARNING, COMMUNICATION, DESIGN AND
MANAGEMENT” AND INSTITUTIONAL PHILOSOPHY
(MOORE & KEARSLEY 1996).

THEIR VIEW OF DISTANCE EDUCATION INDICATES THAT

THE SYSTEM WOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING
COMPONENTS;
 1.SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE
2. FACULTY
3. COURSE DESIGN MECHANISM
4. COURSE DELIVERY MECHANISM
5. INTERACTIONS BETWEEN
STUDENTS, INSTRUCTORS, AND
CONTENT
6. SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
7. LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.
 TAYLOR AND TODD (1995)
EXPOUNDED THAT THERE EXIST
A COMBINATION OF INTERACTION
MULTIMEDIA, WHERE STUDENTS
CAN USE ONLINE RESOURCES
AND DO ASYNCHRONOUS
CONFERENCING THROUGH CHATS
AND OTHER MEANS. THIS CALLED
THE FOURTH ERA OR “ FLEXIBLE
LEARNING MODEL” IN DE.
 WITH ALL THESE ADVANTAGES, ONE
QUETIONS REMAINS. WHAT WILL BE THE
FUTURE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION AND
ONLINE LEARNING? THE FOLLOWING ISSUES
ARE STARTING TO SHAPE THE NEWEST
IMAGE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION
 1. BRINGING AN OFF-CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT
WITHIN THE ONLINE CLASS. THIS REFERS TO THE USE
OF VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY AS A
MUSHROOMING FEATURE OF DISTANCE AND ONLINE
EDUCATION. AND THESE FEATURES ARE GREATLY
SHADOWED BY THE POWER OF TECHNOLOGY. OTHER
OL AND DE PROGRAMS ARE NOW SUCCESSFUL IN
USING VIRTUAL LABORATORIES THROUGH
HOLOGRAMS AND AUGMENTED REALITY.
2. BRINGING AN IN-CLASS ENVIRONMENT OUTSIDE THE ONLINE CLASS.
BECAUSE OF THE QUICK FORWARD PACE OF TECHNOLOGY, STUDENTS
CAN READ E-BOOKS OR ATTEND DISCUSSION FORUMS AT ANY TIME
THEY WANT AND ANYWHERE THEY ARE.

3. EDUTAINMENT. LEARNING CAN NOW BECOME MORE INVITING AND

ENGAGING. IN ORDER TO INCREASE STUDENTS' MOTIVATION, GAME-
BASED TECHNOLOGIES, INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA MATERIALS, AND
SELF-PACED LEARNING ASSESSMENT TOOLS CAN INVITE MORE
STUDENTS TO EMBRACE DE OR ONLINE EDUCATION (OE).
 4. E-PROBLEM. EDUCATION MAY BECOME LESS PEOPLE-
CENTERED. WITH THE MUSHROOMING NUMBER OF PROJECT-
BASED AND SELF-PACED COURSEWARE, STUDENTS CAN
NOW HAVE THE LIBERTY TO PICK THE FOCUS OF THEIR
EDUCATION.

"EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND DISTANCE EDUCATION":

EVEN IF TECHNOLOGY CAN SUPPORT SUCH AN OPERATION
OF A VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY, THERE REMAIN SOME
PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, DISTANCE LEARNING IS NOW VERY
ACTIVE IN MISSION-BASED INSTRUCTION AND COMMUNITY-
BASED LIFELONG EDUCATION.
THIS EMPHASIZES THE CRUCIAL ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL THEORY
AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE DESIGN AND SUCCESS OF DISTANCE
EDUCATION (DE) AND ONLINE LEARNING (OL) SYSTEMS.
EFFECTIVE SYSTEMS MUST PRIORITIZE USABILITY, CONSIDERING
FACTORS LIKE STUDENT INTERACTIVITY AND MOTIVATION (AS
MODELED BY JUN ET AL., 2002). FURTHERMORE, THE
DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER-AIDED LEARNING SHOULD
INCORPORATE LEARNING THEORIES, MULTIMEDIA DESIGN
PRINCIPLES, RELEVANT TECHNOLOGIES, HUMAN-COMPUTER
INTERACTION MODELS, AND USER ACCEPTANCE (AS
HIGHLIGHTED BY SCHAR ET AL., 2000). ULTIMATELY, A
SOFTWARE SYSTEM'S VALUE HINGES ON ITS ACTUAL USE.
THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME PRINCIPLES OF TECHNOLOGICAL USE IN DE AND
OL:
1. TECHNOLOGY IS MORE THAN MACHINES. IT SHOULD BE SEEN AS A TOOL
TO ACHIEVE A HIGHER DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE AND BETTER LEARNING.
2. TECHNOLOGY IS NOT JUST A RESOURCE. THIS MEANS THAT TEACHERS
NEED TO PLAN AND STRUCTURE INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY BY MAXIMIZING
TECHNOLOGY AS A RESOURCE, AS A PLATFORM, AS AN ASSESSMENT TOOL,
AND THE LIKE.
3. TECHNOLOGY BECOMES THE MEDIATION FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION.
WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT DE, IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT, TENDS TO BE
HIGHLIGHTING THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AS A BRIDGE TO FINISHING A
COURSE, STUDENTS NEED TO USE TECHNOLOGY TO BUILD SOCIAL
INTERACTION.
