Description
Summary:The purpose of this research paper is to further understanding and focusing on distance learning (DL) as a viable education method and to discuss the challenges associated with DL course delivery, as well as to examine assessment of DL outcomes, such as student performance and satisfaction. The proposed study will also seek to expand the relevance of performance, perception and measurement in distance learning technology.
