Abstract
This paper compares traditional
vs. distance learning after examining the academic literature affecting
distance learning in higher education. The review centers on the following
issues: (1) viability of distance higher education by age grouping;
(2) evaluation of types of distance higher education; (3) gender issues
and their impact on distance learning; (4) viability of key respondents
accurately representing the higher education institution’s position
when using a survey; and (5) other integral variables related to the
study of this topic.
