Distance Education (DE) is the centre of attention for many educational organisations and recently many innovative examples of flexible educational designs that make use of the new information and communication technologies have surfaced. However, these new forms of DE have often suffered from big problems regarding, for instance, student dropouts and low levels of student performance. The thes...

While effective distance education has been practiced and studied for centuries, it has been in just the last decade that networked digital technology has been employed. Technologies and teaching techniques continue to evolve, and the options continue to expand, emphasizing the need for information that will assist distance education planners and participants in making decisions that will resul...

Distance education and its relationship to emerging computer technologies have together offered many promises to the field of education.

We analyze what kind of technologies are available right now, how easy they can be implemented on the Web, and what is the place of these technologies in large-scale Web-based education.

Although it is of lifelong importance, reading ability is studied primarily in children and adolescents. We examined variation in word recognition in 347 middle-aged male twin pairs. Overall heritability (a2) was 0.45, and shared environmental influences (c2) were 0.28. However, parental education moderated heritability such that a2 was 0.21 at the lowest parental education level and 0.69 at th...
