The authors (of Texas A&M U.) seek to provide readers lacking any particular expertise with education with a conceptual grounding in distance education that is grounded in current research. They begin with the theoretical and conceptual foundations of adult distant learning. Discussion of systematic instructional design consists of chapters on writing instructional objectives, techniques for motivating learners, and methods for assessing learning. This is followed by an exploration of the necessary technology and skills for implementing distance learning. Treatment of administrative and management issues follows and then the volume concludes with a discussion of future trends in distance learning.
