"Distance Education is instructional delivery that does not constrain the student to be physically present in the same location as the instructor. Historically, Distance Education meant correspondence study. Today, audio, video, and computer technologies are more common delivery modes." (from "What is Distance Education" by Virginia Steiner, DLRN 1995.)
