Common factors among high-performing distance learning (DL) programs were examined through case studies at 9 further education colleges and 2 nonsector organizations in the United Kingdom and a backup survey of a sample of 50 distance learners at 5 of the colleges. The study methodology incorporated numerous principles of process benchmarking. The study established that, in terms of planning, monitoring, and managing provision, good practice for DL has much in common with good practice for any program delivered through other modes of attendance. The data strongly suggested a correlation between meeting quality criteria in the planning, resourcing, and supporting of DL programs and the successful outcomes achieved by learners and the DL organization itself. The following factors were identified as critical success factors for DL: (1) integration of program planning, monitoring, management, and resources; (2) a good understanding of the DL operation's costs; (3) tutor and other contact with learners; (4) pre-entry guidance; (5) well-established procedures for selecting learning materials and monitoring their use; and (6) procedures to obtain customer feedback and a process to incorporate feedback survey results into future program planning. (The DL provider questionnaire and background summary are appended, along with the student questionnaire. Contains 19 references.) (MN)

E-Learning Technology is being used to train and educate a myriad of personnel. Evidence shows, however, that completion rates among e-learners are lower than that of traditional learners. Motivational theory is applied to this problem to explain why e-learners initiate, sustain and terminate behavior. In particular, an integrative motivational model, that highlights distal and proximal processes, is introduced to identify and measure those factors most likely to influence e-learning completion rates. Findings offer recommendations that may be useful to e-learning instructors, administrators, and designers. Three research questions were used to investigate motivational theory and its relation to e-learning completion rates. Eight courses were analyzed along with 497 responses received from an on-line survey. Data was coded according to whether the student completed or dropped the course. Statistical analysis showed that e-learners are more likely to invest their time, talent, and energy when they encounter fewer technical problems, less distractions, and more environmental support from supervisors and instructors. Furthermore, lengthy modules and low self-efficacy were found to decrease the motivational tendency to persist. Overall, results proved that motivational theory can be used to predict and explain those factors most likely to influence a person's desire to "go the distance" with e-learning. Practical and theoretical implications of the research are discussed.

According to UNESCO statistics, 10 million of the world's 600 million students study at a distance. Theoretical Principles of Distance Education seeks to lay solid foundations for the education of these students and for the structures within which they study. As a more industrialised form of education provision, distance education is well adapted to the use of new communication technologies, and brings to education many of the strengths and dangers of post-industrialism. The central focus of the study of distance education is the placing of the student at home or at work and the justification of the abandonment in this form of education of interpersonal, face-to-face communication, previously considered to be a cultural imperative for education in both east and west. This book explores the problems that distance education poses to the theorist, bringing together an international team of distance educators to address these issues for the first time in a systematic way. The team comprises theoreticians, administrators, experts in educational technology and adult education, experts in learning from video machines, from computers and other forms of technology. Contributions from Italy, and Scandinavia contrast with viewpoints provided by scholars from the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK.
