Makale Özeti:
|
Online learning is a descendent of distance education. Online education has a shared
history with correspondence learning. In 1873, Anna Eliot Ticknor founded the Society
to Encourage Studies at Home. Ticknor's Society established one of America’s first
correspondence schools, a distance learning option conducted through the mail. This
Society was aimed at the education of women and enrolled more than seven thousand
women. Education by mail was a quality approach to provide education for all because
it allowed universities to access an infinite number of potential students. Today there
are institutions that offer only online courses. At the same time, brick and mortar or
traditional institutions offer online courses in addition to their face-to-face courses. A
review of the literature suggests that as indicated by enrollment figures, the number of
students taking online courses is growing and continued growth can be expected in the
future.
