Distance Education

Distance education has many different definitions depending on what source you are talking to.  Most people agree that distance education is when the teacher and student are separated.  It can not only be web-based but can be any assignment that a student learns away from the learning environment.  Previously, when I thought of distance education, I thought of web-based or online learning.  I thought of something similar to Walden University’s program.  From my first week of class, I have learned that it can be so much more.  I am excited to learn more about distance education.
