Excerpt
from an article in the Summer 1996 issue of The Distance
Educator.
One of the stereotypes that distance educators have had to overcome is the perception that, somehow, distance education is "not as good" as traditional instruction. However, the experience of this college is that distance education opens a whole new pathway for teaching students who might otherwise be shut out of exciting educational opportunities, and which, in some cases, may be more in tune with what they need to know to be good practitioners of their field than what they might have learned in the traditional classroom.
