FOUNDATIONS OF DISTENCE EDUCATION (Review Simonson, Smaldino dan Zvacek for Teaching and Learning at a Distance Sixth Edition)

Abstract

Distance learning in the learning does not necessarily make a simple concept that separates the distance between teacher and student learners in different places, but the substance of learning materials, electronic media within the telecommunications system, and no less important is the concept of the learner, learning resources and Instructur.The traditional definitions describe distance education as taking place at a different time and in a different place, whereas recent definitions, enabled by new interactive technologies, stress education that takes place at the same time but in a different place. The role of educational organizations in the distance education process has also been challenged.
