This article provides a theoretical framework for practitioners who are new to the field of distributed learning. It discusses new technologies, terms for describing them, and how these technologies can be used to deliver learning.

During the last decade, new technologies have resulted in new forms for delivering learning, together with new terms for describing them - such as "distributed learning". These new forms include e-mail, video conferencing, Web CT, and computer conferencing. With contributions by some of the leading international authors in the area, Distributed Learning provides a theoretical framework for practitioners who are new to the field of distributed learning.
