Education Update: Distance Learning April 7, 2008

There is an old saying: Time moves on. That is certainly true in the world of education. In the past, higher education was strictly an option for the wealthy and privileged. Beginning in the last century, higher education became a reality for the common person. But the pace of change has not slackened up one bit!
The pundits debate what direction that higher education may take, but one thing is certain: technology has revolutionized how educational programs are being delivered. In particular, the personal computer, harnessing the power of the Internet, has helped to ’shrink’ our planet. What this ’shrinking’ means is that distance is much less of a factor in our life activities. And the importance of distance has shrunk as well in education - ushering in the era of ‘Distance Learning.’
