“…It may be that students making these comments perceive a lack of stimulus due to the loss of nonverbal communication and the lack of physical contact with their peers and instructor. Student responses in this project affirmed the work of Chen and Willits (1999) and Jung (2001), who show the value of supporting effective forms of interaction between learner-instructor, learner-learner, and learner-content. Student experiences in our virtual classrooms demonstrated that varied processes of real-time communication, which are sensitive to individual learning preferences, positively affected some student involvement in online learning.…”

“…In online contexts, instructors must strive to optimize interaction between learner-instructor, learner-learner, and learner-content through effective modes of communication (Chen & Willits, 1999;Jung, 2001;Moore, 1993). The facilitation of dialogue involves an evaluation of the opportunities for dialogue as well as an analysis of the quality of the dialogue that occurs.…”

This research study is a collaborative project between faculty in social foundations, special education, and instructional technology in which we analyze student data from six undergraduate and graduate courses related to the use of a virtual classroom space. Transactional distance theory (Moore & Kearsley, 1996) operates as our theoretical framework as we explore the role of a virtual classroom in distance education and analyze the ways in which a synchronous learning environment affects students' learning experiences. Elluminate Live! was the software employed in the virtual classroom. In this analysis, particular themes emerged related to dialogue, structure, and learner autonomy. In addition, students rated convenience, technical issues, and pedagogical preferences as important elements in their learning experiences. The article discusses these themes as a contribution to reducing the -distance‖ that students experience in online learning and to developing quality distance education experiences for students in higher education.

“…Most of these studies have had "common shortcomings" in that they have failed to develop a theoretical or conceptual framework of web-based, or online instruction (Jung, 2001). Indeed, the process of designing online instruction can be so complex and difficult that educators often end up adopting curriculum to fit the technology rather than selecting the proper technology to support the curriculum.…”

E-learning in the educational world has grown and changed rapidly in recent years. Both private and public sector organizations have embraced the practice of reaching their students at a distance via new technologies afforded them by Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure. E-learning is grounded on technology, and without it, its practice would be difficult, if not impossible. We can see that the use of the internet and ICT are becoming an important part of learning and teaching strategies in many educational institutions. Knowing that education has always been an important engine for economic development, the Malaysian government has taken initiative steps to implement public awareness on the ICT issues. An important part of e-learning has been to contribute to the development of individual learners whatever their life circumstances. E-learning as a field of educational endeavor is at a crucial juncture in its historical development. The notion of learning at a distance has gained wide acceptance across the developed world. Instructors, physically and temporally separated from learners using newly emerging information and communication technologies, are widespread. The potential of latest technology has adopted in creating new learning environments. The rational behind this endeavor is the expectation that unique features of the Information Communication technology. It also can include a range of powerful media forms and its interactive capability that support sophisticated range and interaction in teaching. As a result, these approaches will provide a rich environment for teaching.

“…In analyzing the pedagogical components of webbased instruction, Jung (2001) utilizes the transactional distance theory. According to this theory, there are three key constituent elements that define every distance education program: dialogue, structure, and learner autonomy.…”

Distance learning, which, for the purpose of this study, is defined as academic courses that can be completed via the computer and internet and entirely absent from the traditional classroom, has seen tremendous growth in the past decade. In fact, according to management guru Peter Drucker, "The future [of higher education] is outside the traditional campus, outside the traditional classroom. Distance learning is coming on fast" (Gubernick & Ebeling, 1997, para. 4). Indeed, according to the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO), about 1 in 13 post-secondary students enrolls in at least one distance learning course each semester (U.S. GAO, 2002). These distance learners, who tend to be older and more likely to be employed full-time while attending school part-time, are changing the landscape of higher education (U.S. GAO, 2002). In an effort to better understand this phenomenon, a case study was conducted on this topic. Sources of evidence include the available literature on distance learning, as well as the websites of those institutions with collegiate aviation programs. This study, which was conducted during Fall 2005, provided an understanding of the historical, theoretical, and contemporary issues surrounding distance learning. A significant contribution of this case study is a current listing of those institutions offering either online aviation courses or complete online aviation academic degrees. In addition, the study revealed that 21 percent of collegiate aviation programs are currently offering courses via distance learning, which represents an increase of 30 percent in the past 5 years. It is predicted that the number of collegiate aviation programs offering courses via distance learning will continue to grow in the future, as both technology and student needs evolve.Detroit makes luxury cars and stripped-down economy cars, four-wheel drives, and sport convertibles. College Inc. makes only one expensive model-with leather seats and airconditioning. Technology is changing that.
