Distance Learning journal is a premiere outlet for articles
featuring practical applications of distance education in states,
institutions, and countries. Distance Education: Statewide,
Institutional, and International Applications of Distance
Education, Second Edition is a collection of readings from Distance
Learning journal written by practitioners for practitioners.
Over the last decade, the field of distance education (and
e-learning) has substantially strengthened and assumed a more
international scope. There has been an impressive growth in the
conceptual, empirical and experiential foundations of the field.
Trends and Issues in Distance Education: International Perspectives
(2nd Ed) captures a representative snapshot of the breadth of
current global trends and issues in distance education theory,
research, and practice. Through 21 chapters (from over 30
international authors), the book documents new developments in
distance education scholarship and practice, presenting a diverse
set of viewpoints on the trends and issues affecting this
increasingly central discipline. The book is for researchers,
practitioners, and students. Chapters speak to the many creative
ways in which distance education addresses learning and human
development needs around the world. They focus on distance
education in dissimilar settings that extend beyond the limitations
of the dominating paradigms of the highly developed economies.
Contributing authors touch upon conceptual as well as practical
issues. They critically reflect on both large- and small-scale
distance education initiatives, discussing the use of everything
from the most advanced technologies (e.g., 3-D computing) to the
most rudimentary technologies (e.g., wind-up radios).
