According to UNESCO statistics, 10 million of the world's 600
million students study at a distance. Theoretical Principles of
Distance Education seeks to lay solid foundations for the education
of these students and for the structures within which they study.
As a more industrialised form of education provision, distance
education is well adapted to the use of new communication
technologies, and brings to education many of the strengths and
dangers of post-industrialism. The central focus of the study of
distance education is the placing of the student at home or at work
and the justification of the abandonment in this form of education
of interpersonal, face-to-face communication, previously considered
to be a cultural imperative for education in both east and west.
This book explores the problems that distance education poses to
the theorist, bringing together an international team of distance
educators to address these issues for the first time in a
systematic way. The team comprises theoreticians, administrators,
experts in educational technology and adult education, experts in
learning from video machines, from computers and other forms of
technology. Contributions from Italy, and Scandinavia contrast with
viewpoints provided by scholars from the US, Canada, Australia, and
the UK.
