V istance Education ( E) is an
instructional delivery system that connects
learners with educational resources. E
provides educational access to learners
not enrolled in educational institutions and
can augment the learning opportunities of
current students. The implementation of
E is a process that uses available
resources and will evolve to incorporate
emerging technologies.V

approaches in providing students with
courses leading to a degree, certificate, or
diploma. Internet technology and print
materials are most often utilized, plus
occasional face-to-face class sessions.

interaction, it is a viable alternative for
