  • An integrated Distance Learning system capable of supporting interactions for asynchronous Distance Learning
    Proceedings 22nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems Workshops, 2002
    Co-Authors: S. Sakai, T. Narahara, N. Mashita, H. Shigeno, K. Okada, Y. Matsushita
    Abstract:

    In recent years, as the demand grows for taking lectures without the limitation of time and place by those who have jobs and require life-long education, expectations are increasing for the implementation of a Distance Learning system. However, in most existing asynchronous Distance Learning systems, the images shown on screen are limited to images of the teacher with synchronized digital documents used in lectures. Since these systems have not been able to convey interactions between a teacher and students, the educational effectiveness is lower than the traditional lecture. This paper describes a Distance Learning system, which supports interactions between a teacher and students in asynchronous Distance Learning. During synchronous Distance Learning, this system can record interactions automatically with XML. It can provide recorded interactions to students who are studying asynchronously. An important point to emphasize is not only synchronizing digital documents with recorded lecture video but also synchronizing recorded interactions with digital documents and lecture video. Moreover, in order to support interactions, this system also links similar questions together and can suggest the most meaningful question.

  • DMS - Distance Learning immersive environments
    Journal of Visual Languages & Computing, 2014
    Co-Authors: Max M. North
    Abstract:

    Distance Learning technologies are becoming more important for the delivery of content as Distance education seems rapidly growing adoption worldwide. These technologies allow collaboration between students and teachers in globally disparate environments. Immersive environments are one recent innovation with significant promise, offering a sense of presence-the sense of "being there"-which can strengthen and reinforce Distance Learning. The primary purpose of this study is to research the sense of presence using an immersive environment. While this is a work-in-progress, the authors provide preliminary results and conclusions. Sense of presence-the sense of "being there"-was explored in the Distance Learning immersive environments.A majority of participants felt a high sense of presence in the immersive environment than in the real world.Immersive environments are one recent innovation with significant promise for creating collaborative Distance Learning.

  • Distance Learning in Nursing Education
    International Journal of Nursing Education, 2020
    Co-Authors: Farah Naz Farid, Munira Farid Lakhani
    Abstract:

    Use of online technology has brought innovation in Distance Learning. The Distance Learning was initiated dates back in 1890s via use of radio and televised courses. Increased demand of Distance Learning is because of the advancement in technologies. Distance Learning aims to provide accessibility and feasibility of acquiring education to disadvantaged group of individuals. The two common forms of communications used in Distance Learning include synchronous and asynchronous communications. In nursing education, Distance Learning is used to offer specialized courses to nurses. It is an effective strategy to provide higher education to nurses, who are working, having time constraints, having financial constraints, or having domestic issues. Besides advantages, there are certain barriers to Distance Learning in nursing education including feasibility of learner, faculty, and organization. Combined interdisciplinary efforts are required to impart successful Distance Learning program.
