7. Advantages
and
Disadvantages
of
Distance
Educa<on
with
Audio
Visual
Technology

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the top three
technologies used in distance education programs rely on the Internet
for course delivery (www.bls.gov)

According
to
a
2003
NCES
report
about
distance
learning,
it
is
clear
that
the
administrators
of
public
and
private
higher
educa<on
ins<tu<ons
have
also
considered
the
disadvantages
of
offering
online
schooling
(nces.ed.gov)..
The NCES found that 26% of respondents claimed a concern about
quality as a major factor in their decision not to offer online schooling.

as

Obstacle

Technology
was
one
bar
to
distance
educa<on
for
school
officials.
Among
NCES
survey
respondents
who
weren't
planning
to
offer
distance
learning
within
three
years,
24%
felt
that
they
didn't
have
the
technological
infrastructure
necessary
to
successfully
support
online
schooling.

*(NOTE)
•
*Although
it’s
not
explicitly
made
men<on
of
the
technological
“Nuts
and
Bolts”
of
the
Audio
Video
Technologies
per
se,
the
fact
remains
that
it’s
a
given
that
it’s
part
of
the
percep<on
of
the
respondents
of
the
surveys
cited
Summa<on-­‐When
Audio-­‐Visual
Technologies
are
properly
used
in
a
Virtual
Learning
Environment,
many
Good
Outcomes
can
be
realized.
When
and
Where
it’s
been
a
difficulty
for
the
Public
and
Private
Ins<tu<ons
to
commit
to
the
design
and
implementa<on
of
Online
Course
Content
the
reasons
are
seldom
because
of
any
inherent
“glitches”
with
the
Audio-­‐Visual
Technologies
as
much
as
the
lack
of
financial
resources
or
the
perceived
conflict
with
the
Ins<tu<on’s
Mission
Statement.
