Distance education and online instruction: Profession or field?

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    Finn (1953) implied research and practice could not be conducted effectively without clear terminology. Keegan's (1986) work became the foundation for more modern definitions, including one espoused by this journal, "institutionally-based, formal education, where the learning group is separated and where interactive technologies are used to unite the group," one that has come under attack by vendors of online learning materials.
