The application of Web technology in the interactive distance education

A number of factors drive colleges and universities to enforce distance education programs as part of the range of services that they provide to students. Development and popularization of computers and Web technologies are changing traditional instruction paradigms. Modern higher education is experiencing structural changes in terms of composition of the student populations, learning paradigms, and curricula design. This paper deals with diverse teaching and learning methods in the interactive distance instruction. It appears that the temptation of distance education will continue to entire institutions of higher learning. Colleges and universities are wild about to diversify their services and enhance student access and sources, especially when these institutions find it difficult and costly to build more classrooms and on-campus residences. A rational assumption is that the distance education will continue to grow and evolve.
