More Failures than Successes

چکیده
Experience shows that larg e scale distance education efforts found many ways to fail. Reasons for failure of these p rograms include lack of student acceptance, which re s u l t s in low enrollment, higher costs, and more faculty time than expected. Many programs have discounted tuition in order to attract students. For students, the lack of enthusiasm could be a result of the missing social stru c t u re. Students may complain about boring classes, tests, and arbitrary schedules, but these attributes may account for the success of traditional programs. A lack of interaction with both faculty and other students can dec rease motivation and re s p o nsibility in distance education courses.
