Tomorrow's Professor: Quality in distance education - focus on on-line learning - Katrina A. Meyer

....This monograph focuses on the research concerning on-line learning, and although it makes some mention of other modes of distance education, it is oriented toward exploring the specific intricacies of learning over the Web. Distance education is a broader term, comprising several different delivery modes. On-line or Web-based distance education is use of the Web to deliver education whether at a distance or next door, although the Web may also be used to enhance on-campus courses in particular ways. Most of the research reviewed may actually be quite interesting and useful to faculty incorporating the Web in their regular classes. And because the line between Web-based learning at a distance and in an on-campus course is murky at best, research on campus-based uses of the Web is also included in the review.
