Distance Education Track
Distance education is emerging as a significant web
technology, sought by core educational institutes, organizational training,
skill development centers as well as the diverse life-long learning
communities of today. “Distance education” has become a major buzz word said
to make education and training more efficient in business. Many distance
education products have been developed and deployed, which focus on specific
aspects of learning.
Employers put stronger and stronger impact on employee education.
Corporations focus on enhancing employee effectiveness and lowering human
costs. This situation creates a strong demand on improving existing distance
education technologies. Researches and practitioners from all over the world
should communicate in order to provide answer to the increasing demand. By
creating new and facilitating existing technologies, we can speed up the
technological advance, not only in the field of distance education.
The Distance Education Track is an international forum which
aims to facilitate the cooperation in the field of distance education both
for academia and commercial purposes. The target is to help to exchange
information and ideas on the research, planning, development and deployment
of topics related to distance education.
The Distance Education Track is mainly a participatory
event. This means that all attendees play important role, by presenting
their own views, providing feedback, and exchange of their experiences.
The scope of the track includes, but is not limited to, the following topics
as they relate to the distance education and the technologies supporting
distance education.
