Defining features of distance education, the DE paradox and theteacher-student-content relationship.

……………is the separation of teacher and learner, usually in both time and space (Holmberg, 1989).
The defining feature of Distance Education
fosters non-contiguous communication (communication that occurs between the learner and teacher from a distance), which has to be mediated
Consequently, mediated communication becomes the second defining feature of distance education (Rumble, 1989)
Reduced significance with technology emergence
Shale (1991) argues that distance education is a phenomenon that has proved its existence without a standardized definition.
The Distance Education Paradox
There has been too much focus on the term “distance” rather than on the term “education”
Distance Education is essentially an educational process
Teacher-Student Relationship in (Distance) Education
Interaction is the key concept in the distance education setting

The two approaches towards Distance Education
2. Innovate – Learning activities, Communication patterns, quality learning experience
The biggest drawback of our Educational system - students are not taught “soft skills”- the competence to discuss, analyse, innovate and communicate.

Reconceptualisation of Learning
Learn anytime, anywhere, but more important of all - learn differently, just-in-time learning
Technology as the mediating instrument for cognitive
stimulation, skills development, ad-hoc learning and knowledge construction/sharing

Rethink how you use PowerPoint. Most people approach it from a linear presentation mindset, building slides the same way they would for face-to-face presentations. That just doesn’t work for elearning.
Learn to use PowerPoint’s features. Once you scratch the surface of the tools available in PowerPoint, you’ll see it’s more than adequate for building great elearning. In many ways it’s the ideal choice because it offers a blend of speed, ease-of-use, and cost savings.
