Abstract
It is becoming increasingly unusual to pick up a professional training or education journal without seeing
articles concerning alternatives to in-person teaching and learning. Distance education is not new, but the
new technologies used for delivery in recent decades have fueled different perspectives, methods, and
debates than had been the case starting a century ago.
The technologies used to deliver education at a distance have changed, and have also allowed a broader
range of teaching methods to be used. Still, no one believes now, if ever they did, that this is a panacea.
There are many barriers to successful distance education—some are new but many have plagued distance education since it was first conceived.
