Distance education or distance learning is a mode of
delivering education and instruction, often on an
individual basis, to students who are not physically
present in a traditional setting such as a classroom.
Distance learning provides "access to learning when
the source of information and the learners are
separated by time and distance, or both.
History
and
development
Isaac pitman
Pioneer of distance
education in the 1840s in
England.
He taught a system of
shorthand by mailing texts
transcribed into shorthand
on postcards and receiving
transcriptions from his
students in return for
correction - the element of
student feedback was a
crucial innovation of
Pitman's system.
The University of London was the first university to
offer distance learning degrees, establishing
its External Programme in 1858.
William Rainey Harper
First president of
the University of Chicago
developed the concept of
extended education,
whereby the research
university had satellite
colleges of education in the
wider community.
In 1892 he also
encouraged the concept of
correspondence school
courses to further promote
education, an idea that was
put into practice
by Columbia University.

Refers to content
delivered live over the
Internet, requires a
camera for the media, an
encoder to digitize the
content, a media
publisher, and a content
delivery network to
distribute and deliver the
content.
Internet radio (also web
radio, net radio, streaming
radio, e-radio, online
radio, webcasting) is an audio
service transmitted via the Internet.
Broadcasting on the Internet is
usually referred to
as webcasting since it is not
transmitted broadly through
wireless means.
Internet radio involves streaming
media, presenting listeners with a
continuous stream of audio that
typically cannot be paused or
replayed, much like traditional
broadcast media; in this respect, it
is distinct from on-demand file
serving.
