Readings in Distance Education Series
A series comprising articles selected from The Readings in Distance Education Series is published by The American Center for the Study of Distance Education at The Pennsylvania State University. This series is designed to provide instructional and resource material for students, educators, training specialists, and other professionals working in the field of distance education. Each book of readings focuses on a particular aspect of distance education research and/or practice as reflected in articles from The American Journal of Distance Education. Readings in Distance Education No. 8 (2001) Distance Education in the Health Sciences Readings in Distance Education No. 8 Distance Education in the Health SciencesEdited by Michael G. Moore and Joseph T. Savrock Released October 2001
While the articles in this Book of Readings deal with various health professions and deal with various aspects of both teaching and learning, they fall into two sets in terms of technology. In the first part of the book, the communication technology used in most of the studies reported was group-focused teleconferencing—i.e., one-way video/two-way audio, two-way video or two-way audioconferencing. In the second part of the book the technology used is the more individually focused Internet/World Wide Web. This dichotomy directly mirrors the trends in technology used in distance education during the past fifteen years. The book contains reports covering nearly twenty years of experience, from states across the nation and some from abroad, from a range of health professions and examining teaching practices, communication tools, student attitudes and achievements, and even a glimpse at some of the politics involved. —Michael G.

Moore and Geoffrey T. Cozine Released August 2000
Online, Web-based communication—seen by many as the key technological innovation of the last decade of the twentieth century—has attracted the attention of educators and trainers to the idea of distance education in a way that no earlier technology managed to do. With explosive growth of the technology, knowledge of how to best apply it—in designing and delivering instructional programs and in facilitating learner-instructor and learner-learner interactions—lags very far behind. The American Journal of Distance Education (AJDE) has published a growing number of articles related to Web-based delivery of distance education, and a selection of these have been brought together in this book of readings. They are offered here in a single volume in the hope that they will prove valuable in informing and guiding readers—whether instructors, administrators, researchers, or students—as they enter and begin to explore this exciting world of online distance education. We hope that, as readers understand better what is known about distance education via the Web, it will become more clear how much is not known, and that, by linking the questions about the application of this new technology to the theories and knowledge acquired through research in earlier technologies, the general quality of research and practice in this field will be advanced. —Michael G.
