چکیده
The technology of a delivery system is only one of the factors of importance when examining what does and does not work in distance education. The characteristics of the teacher and learner, and the content to be delivered, must also be examined before the delivery system is chosen, since these factors determine final learning outcomes. This paper provides a framework for categorizing distance learning systems and discusses specific examples of how teaching, learning, and distance education technology interact to produce successful teaching-learning experiences.
