What is What is Distance EducationDistance Education??

• Distance education or distance learning is a field of education that focuses on teaching methods and technology with the aim of delivering teaching, often on an individual basis, to students who are not physically present in a traditional educational setting such as a classroom.

• It has been described as "a process to create and provide access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance, or both."

HistoryHistory and Development and Development

• Modern distance education initially relied on the development of postal services in the 19th century Isaac Pitman taught shorthand in Great Britain via correspondence in the 1840s.

• The University of London claims to be the first university to offer distance learning degrees, establishing its External Programme in 1858. This program is now known as the University of London International Programmes and includes Postgraduate, Undergraduate and Diploma degrees created by colleges such as the London School of Economics, Royal Holloway and Goldsmiths.

HistoryHistory and Development and Development

• In 1969 The Open University, which initially relied on radio and television broadcasts for much of its delivery.

• The development of computers and the internet have made distance learning distribution easier and faster and have given rise to the 'virtual university, the entire educational offerings of which are conducted online.

AdvantagesAdvantages of Distance Learning of Distance Learning

• Distance learning does not require commuting.• Convenience: you don’t have to attend a lecture at a

particular time and place; you can review the assignments and do your homework during off-hours or from home.

• Live anywhere, study from anywhere.• Self-paced learning.• Accessibility : You don’t have to worry about

gaining access to a classroom or sitting on uncomfortable desks.

DisadvantagesDisadvantages of Distance of Distance LearningLearning

• Costly and complex technology.• Advance planning.• Hidden costs.• Distance learning does not offer immediate feedback.• Distance learning does not always offer all the necessary

courses online.• Distance learning may not be acknowledged by all employers.• Distance learning does not give students the opportunity to

work on oral communication skills.• Social isolation.

• Edinburgh Napier University was opened as Napier Technical College in 1964, taking its name from John Napier, the inventor of logarithms, who was born at Merchiston Castle — the site of the University's Merchiston campus. In 1966, it was renamed Napier College of Science and Technology. Since 1971, it has offered degree-level education. Three years later, it merged with the Sighthill-based Edinburgh College of Commerce to form Napier College of Commerce and Technology, which became a Central Institution in 1985.

• The college was renamed Napier Polytechnic in 1986 and in the same year acquired the former Hydropathic hospital buildings at Craiglockhart. It gained full university status in June 1992 as Napier University.
