Access Barriers Experienced by Adults in Distance Education Courses and Programs
Abstract
The proliferation of distance education components to courses and entire programs at institutes of higher education have been the focus of discussion within the last decade. Educational constituents have sought to explore the implications of distance education practices on teaching and learning. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the literature on barriers to access, particularly for adult learners, in distance education programs and courses. Prior to discussing access barriers, a brief history of distance education is articulated. Further, strategies that individuals or institutions utilize to overcomethese barriers are presented. Concluding the chapter are trends and issues shaping the future landscape of distance education.
