Distance education is defined as institution-based formal education
where the learning group is separated, and where interactive
telecommunications systems are used to connect learners, resources,
and instructors. This definition is expanded on in the 2009
yearbook of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, which validates this
definition of the field. ""Distance Education: Definition and
Glossary of Terms, 3rd Edition"" is unique in that it packages the
terms together under one cover making this rapidly advancing
complex topic easier to comprehend. The book addresses the
complexities of terminology used in the field of distance
education. In a time where distance education is becoming widely
utilized across the globe, this at-a-glace approach makes it easier
than ever to respond to the growing demand and questions about this
subject matter.
Distance Education has become a major topic of interest in the
field of educational communications and technology. In response to
this interest, the Association for Educational Communications and
Technology (AECT) published the first edition of Distance
Education: Definition and Glossary of Terms in 2002. The second
edition of this monograph was begun in 2005. While the definition
of distance education was changed only slightly, the glossary of
terms was updated significantly under the supervision of Joann
Flick and members of AECT's Division of Distance Learning. The
definition of distance education and much of the supporting
narrative offered in this edition of Distance Education: Definition
and Glossary of Terms is based on Teaching and Learning at a
Distance: Foundations of Distance Education, 3rd. edition (2006).
