Defining Distance Education
What is distance education or distance learning?Distance education is defined as …. learning is most easily defined as an educational model where the student and the teacher are in locations different from one another while the instruction is taking place. The use of technology is an inherent part of the distance learning process.

The first catalog of instruction films appeared in 1910 (Reiser, 1987) and in 1913, Thomas Edison proclaimed that, due to the invention of film, "Our school system will be completely changed in the next ten years" (Saettler, 1968, p. 68).

Video conferenceEarly studies by educators tended to show that student achievement from classroom
television was as successful as from traditional face-to-face instruction. A study by Parsons (1957) showed only borderline
differences in achievement, and Lapore and Wilson (1958) offered research showing that learning by television
compared favorably with conventional instruction.
