The DTIC Review: Distance Learning. Volume 3, Number 2

Distance learning involves any method of presenting training that is interactive and in which the trainees are physically separate from the trainers. The advent of interactive multimedia, satellite communications, and the Internet has dramatically expanded the number and variety of instructional technology alternatives, including distance learning in all its manifestations in both government and the private sector. This edition features an overview of advances in electronic media and communication systems as applied to the various concepts of distance learning, distributed training, networked simulation, distributed interactive simulation, video teletraining (VTT), remote-site training, computer conferencing, and related developments. The selected documents and bibliography are a representation of the information available on distance learning and distributed training from DTIC's extensive collection on these subjects. Additional references, including electronic sources, can be found at the end of the volume.
