Book excerpt: We live in a society with ever-changing needs and expectations. Education practitioners and policy makers need therefore to face the challenges of new economic, social and technological conditions in their work. There is a global concern to develop forms of education and training which are open to the demands of needs of learners, and which are accessible at times and places suitable to those learners. Governments, institutions and practitioners are developing and implementing policies which reflect these trends. The overall theme of this book is the relationship between government and organizational policies and the work of practitioners in open and distance learning. The book does this by exploring a selection of international examples. The authors, many of them recognized experts, write from a wide range of international and organizational perspectives. Each one draws on significant experience within his or her field. Terry Evans is Head of the Graduate School of Education at Deakin University. He was the foundation director of the Master of Distance Education course there and has extensive experience teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students. Daryl Nation is Deputy Head of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Monash University. He is Associate Professor in the School and divides his time between policy development, research and teaching.
Download or read book Building a Working Policy for Distance Education written by Connie L. Dillon and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1997-11-30 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distance education offers the potential to further the mission of the community college in significant ways. However, the practice of education will not change without corresponding changes in our fundamental views of teaching and learning as these are reflected in the total of our state, federal, and institutional policies. In many ways the community college offers other sectors of higher education a vision for the future. This issue of New Directions for Community Colleges presents some of the policy issues confronting higher education in the age of distance learning, and discusses the implications of these issues for the community college. This is the 99th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Community Colleges. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals section.

Download or read book A Survey of State level Involvement in Distance Education at the Elementary and Secondary Levels written by Richard England and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is at present an unusually high degree of interest among educators and educational policy makers in the possibilities of improving and expanding elementary and secondary education by incorporating some forms of distance education into traditional schooling. However, no procedures and little funding have been provided for research to find out what issues states consider important, what policies they have implemented or intend to implement, or what the opinions are among policy makers about the future of distance education in the schools. An issue raised by the Office of Technology Assessment in 1989 ("Linking for Learning: A New Course for Education") has to do with the certification of teachers involved in distance education programs, as the teacher certification process varies from state to state, and at times among universities and colleges within a particular state. A survey of chief state school officers in the United States, including the District of Columbia, was conducted in 1990 for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (APB), Organization of State Broadcast Executives (OSBE), and the Southern Educational Communications Association (SECA). Questions were asked regarding state-level involvement in distance education and teacher certification issues. Responses from 41 states (response rate 80%) provided an overview of activity and opinion. These responses are discussed in the context of individual questions in each of the two areas, and it is concluded that, although there is a continuing need for research and education of policymakers, the majority of states appear to recognize the opportunities that exist for distance education through telecommunications, and that they are exploring ways to make education more available through technology. Responses from the individual states to each of nine questions are tabulated in the appendix. (Contains 7 references.) (ALF)

Download or read book Open and Distance Learning in Secondary School Education in India written by Jyotsna Jha and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the state of the Open and Distance Learning (ODL)-based secondary education in India. ODL-based education has been a key resource for children in India who can neither cope with nor avail of regular schooling opportunities due to economic, health and disability, or other constraints. The volume uses large-scale empirical data collected from various Indian states and a sensitive theoretical framework to study the equity, efficiency, and effectiveness of the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) and the State Open School (SOS). Highlighting the roadblocks and barriers in terms of its reach, inclusion, and delivery, particularly to the marginalised, this book explores whether ODL has a potential of being a sustainable and effective option at the secondary and senior secondary level in India. Thus, it seeks to generate policy discourse around delivery mechanisms and effectiveness of ODL in developing countries. First of its kind, this comprehensive volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of education, education policy, public policy, and political studies.
