Key features include:Comprehensive coverage that includes all aspects of distance education, including design, instruction, management, policy, and a section on different audiences.Chapter authors frame their topic in terms of empirical research (past and present) and discuss the nature of current practice in terms of that research. Future research needs are discussed in relation to both confirmed practice and recent changes in the field.Section one provides a unique review of the theories that support distance education pedagogy. Section six provides a unique review of distance education as a component of a global culture.
