Extractions: Many advocates of computer-mediated distance education emphasize its positive aspects and understate the kind of work that it requires for students and faculty. This article presents a qualitative case study of a Web-based distance education course at a major U.S. university. The case data reveal a taboo topic: students' persistent frustrations in Web-based distance education. First, this paper will analyze why these negative phenomena are not found in the literature. Second, this article will discuss whether students' frustrations inhibit their educational opportunities. In this study, students' frustrations were found in three interrelated sources: lack of prompt feedback, ambiguous instructions on the Web, and technical problems. It is concluded that these frustrations inhibited educational opportunities. This case study illustrates some student perspectives and calls attention to some fundamental issues that could make distance education a more satisfying learning experience. Introduction Conclusion Recent cutting-edge technology, such as the World Wide Web and online conferencing systems, enable universities to implement distance education to reach a diverse population and to provide open learning environments 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Some analysts argue that the Internet-supported distance education courses do more than bring new students into online classrooms. In addition they form "a critical pressure point for challenging the dominant assumptions and characteristics of existing traditionally organized universities in the 21st century" (Hanna, 1998).

Find it at http://www.faqs.org/faqs/education/distance-ed-faq/part1/ or at: http://personalpages.tds.net/~rlaws/dlfaq.html Definition: Distance Learning (DL), also known as Distance Education (DE), is simply learning from a distance, usually from home, or from a conveniently located off-campus site. DL allows adults to earn college credits, even entire degrees, without ever leaving home. DL makes use of the Internet, software, modems, TV stations, 2-way television using fiber optics, microwave, and digital phone lines, satellites, radio, ham radio, videocassette and audio tape, and the ever-popular mailbox, to deliver instruction. DL also refers to on-campus classes where the professor is not physically present, but communicating with students at several sites simultaneously via television, modem, or some other electronic means. A broader definition of DL includes non-credit courses, workshops, seminars, and career credits like CEUs (continuing education credits.)
