Abstract
This paper provides details on implementing and managing successful Internet Based Distance Education (DE) Programs. Distance Education is one of the fastest growing areas in higher education institutions today and like the technology that drives it, distance education is evolving, as are the skills required. The author looks at the requirements necessary to manage and run the program.
From the Paper
"Distance education programs have a propensity to grow exponentially if they are done well. Many institutions begin their distance education programs by offering a limited number of courses and they use the technology they already have in place because they are unsure of how well the courses will work or how many students will enroll. By comparison, institutions that have good distance education programs plan them from the ground up. They implement the information technology infrastructure before they begin building their classes. This helps to solve the problems before they begin. Successful distance education programs also have the necessary support staff in place before beginning course development. By providing faculty with training and technical support the quality of teaching materials is improved."

Abstract
This paper presents a thesis outline for examining and analyzing whether distance learning programs are both of value and effective for students and teachers.
From the Paper
"When the World Wide Web became popular as a convenient form of communication, diverse industries started to go with the fad of implementing the technology of the Internet in their business process. Among the institutions that now consider the Internet as an alternative medium of communication are the educational institutions. Through distance learning programs, in which the learners can conduct their study and learning process via the Internet and outside the traditional school environment, the same degree of education that students get from conventional classroom programs can be obtained."

From the Paper
"Today, distance education (Lewis, Alexander & Farris, 1997; Moore & Kearsley, 1996; Steiner, 1995), distance learning (Berge & Collins, 1995; Peterson?s, 1996) distributed learning and nontraditional programs (Duffy, 1997) all refer to the phenomena of learning situations where students and teachers are separated by time, distance, or both time and distance. Voice, video, data, and print are the main categories for disseminating learning at a distance (Gottschalk, 2003). Moore and Kearsley (1996) take a wide view and consider distance education a system wherein teaching, delivery mechanisms, and student learning are some of the interdependent parts of a greater whole."

Abstract
Distance learning has been regarded as a way to deliver classes to more students more efficiently, thus saving money and paying back an institution's investment in the technology. E-learning has been regarded as both a promise and a threat -- the promise of a better bottom line to administrators, the threat of losing control and ownership to faculty.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are varieties of procedures that can be used to inform the activities of those involved in providing and supporting instruction. In distance education, the separation between teachers and students usually involves instruction or learning experiences being mediated through written or recorded materials. These 'published' materials often remain in the same form for several (or many) cohorts of learners, although some modifications and amendments can be made. In turn, this separation entails the absence of direct verbal and non-verbal feedback from students that is crucial in all teaching. The evaluation of any distance education teaching materials or course of instruction may serve to provide information that can be used during the process of developing or preparing materials or learning experiences, known as formative evaluation procedures (Slide 6), or information about how well the 'finished' instruction has worked in normal use, known as summative evaluation procedures (Slide 7)."

From the Paper
"Its earliest prototype was the international correspondence in the 19th century. In the 1970s, it reshaped into open universities, later into the 1980?s wave of technological products, such as the videotape, broadcast, satellite and cable. In the 1990s, Brey (as qtd in Burke) predicted that distance education programs would phenomenally grow that decade to an extent that most of the people the US would be served by it at the minimal ratio of 1:1, mostly in the community colleges. Right enough by 1994, 80% of community colleges in the US began offering some form of distance education program and the figure went up further in the rest of the decade."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the field of education and the field of technology have both experienced changes and demands in recent history. The world of education has been undergoing significant transformations, as well, and it was only a matter of time until the two areas interlocked. The paper discusses how distance learning has become common place in many areas of America and is currently under scrutiny as a viable option to the delivery of education. Whether the option is used at the elementary, high school, or college level, there are many programs available and a lot of focus on their successes and failures. It explains how distance learning promotes a lot of advantages, including space saving, flexible hours and the ability to take classes without having to attend a classroom on a regular basis. The paper addresses the fact that this type of education may not suit everyone, and a concern has developed that students are signing up for distance learning without having the personality traits to succeed in its forum. This study proposal addresses the issues of personality types, learning styles, and other factors that are involved in education. The study proposal tries to determine what personality types are best suited to distance learning.
From the Paper
"The field of education in America is expanding. The world of technology is improving every day. The two fields met in the middle years ago and have merged to produce a forum for education delivery through the use of technology. This was done in the form of distance learning. Distance learning is the method used to deliver education through the use of technology. There are also course offered through traditional mail avenues but the majority of distance learning at this point in time is delivered through the use of computers."

Abstract
This paper looks at some of the problems encountered with distance learning programs and compares distance learning to traditional face-to-face learning. The paper discusses problems with technology, cost, attrition rates and student-teacher interaction. The paper discusses some of the benefits of distance learning and when and why it can be necessary, but argues that traditional learning is better.
From the Paper
"With the increase in frustration with the education system, as well as large numbers of people going back to school to get degrees many years after they started and dropped out, homeschooling as well as online and distance learning have gained popularity (Stull & Ryan, 2000, p.1). Traditional or face-to-face learning has generally the more accepted and mainstream approach to education in the US, as well as the most accessible. The teacher and students are in the same location and interact in real time, whereas distance education consists of "all forms of learning and teaching in which those who learn and those who teach are for all or most of the time in different locations" which includes online or internet-based education as well as older formats that involve mailing assignments back and forth (Moore, 2003, p. ix).

Abstract
This paper defines distance learning as the promise to deliver education to those who are interested in obtaining a college education but cannot attend the traditional college classroom. This paper explores distance learning and how it benefits the masses, as well as examines the problems that arise from distance learning use. The focus centers on the future of distance learning technology and its use.
From the Paper
"The need for a college degree has become evident in recent years for many professions. High schools are geared to prepare their students for college and students are being encouraged to think about post high school education as a given instead of an option. The workforce has become extremely competitive in the last few decades and often times what separates those who are hired from those who are not is a college degree. As the need for a degree becomes more important, people are trying to find ways to fit college into their already demanding lives. One of the things that has been invented for the purpose of allowing their pursuit is distance education. Distance education has enjoyed increasing attention for the last few years. It allows those who want to obtain a degree, but cannot attend classes, to fulfill their desire. Through the use of distance education millions of students across the nation are now working toward various leveled degrees and improving their earning power."

Abstract
This paper examines the possibility of instituting online distance learning programs in Nigeria as an alternative to more traditional forms of higher education. While arguing for the incredible benefits of such a system, as well as the need for better higher education in Nigeria, paper nevertheless concludes that online distance learning may simply be technically impossible for Nigeria in the near future.
From the Paper
"The 20th century was the first century when, on a global level, education and individual knowledge could be said to have a profound impact on the fate of nations. Knowledge has become intimately tied to economic development by the end of the 20th century. We have little reason to suspect that this connection will not intensify in the coming decades. In the interest of constructing knowledge societies and economies, analysts repeatedly recognize the importance of higher education (Saint et al., 2004). Improving higher education access and quality should stand as one of the primary goals in all nations, though perhaps especially within the developing world. Nowhere are the difficulties of development more blatantly highlighted than in Africa, particularly in the nations of sub-Saharan Africa. "

Abstract
This paper assesses some of the pros and cons of distance learning, a mode of learning that has been enabled by the proliferation of the Internet and World Wide Web into educational endeavors. The paper contends that many large and small colleges, high schools, and universities, as well as charter schools, have established operations on the Internet in terms of resources and course material. Many universities also have extensive online libraries, which feature quality peer-reviewed journals. The paper examines distance learning from the perspective of the fully online school, through which students attend classes and submit assignments using the Internet and Web exclusively.
From the Paper
"Proponents of distance learning also highlight the flexibility of the new system in comparison with the traditional classroom. For example, in the traditional classroom, students file into the room at a given time and are paced in terms of coursework in the brick and mortar classroom. But in distance learning, the student chooses their own times to complete assignments and attend to coursework. Distance learning is also gaining in credibility from its impetus, with more and more schools which have some degree of renown offering distance learning opportunities. In distance learning, the student is able to set his/her own pace and schedule rather than being at the mercy of the traditional schedule. Also, the distance learner does not have to worry about the often-expensive additions to traditional classes, especially in colleges, such as fees for dormitory living and cafeteria food."

Abstract
This paper examines the issues concerning the establishment of online distance learning courses at Eujean City Community College. It analyzes how in order to implement the program, several components need to be considered to justify its establishment such as the rationale, the mission, the goals and the resources required. It also considers the program?s relevance to the college and the community. It evaluates how the provision of online distance learning courses enables Eujean City Community College to offer more courses to a larger student population and provides an effective tool of meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse student population without incurring excessive expenses.
From the Paper
"The establishment of online courses at Eujean City Community College provides a viable solution for the college to deal with the financial constraints caused by reduced state and local government funding. The demand for continuing education has increased nationwide: the number of students needing traditional higher education has risen from 15 million to 20 million in the United States. Entrepreneurs and for-profit schools, as well as other community colleges, are seizing the opportunities to encroach on the traditional student population of community colleges through online courses (Dunn, 2000, p. 38). Therefore, with increasing numbers of people returning to schools and rising competition from a variety of sectors, Eujean City Community College?s Online Distance Education Program can increase productivity and efficiency (Callan, 1997, p. 10).
