Creating a Virtual Classroom for Interactive
Education on the Web at www.igd.fhg.de/archive/1995_www95/ papers/62/ctc.virtual.class
is a great place to start for an in-depth look at issues underlying distance learning and
online instruction. The Online Distance Education FAQ at 129.7.160.115/COURSE/DISTEDFAQ/ Disted_FAQ.html
answers basic questions about distance learning, identifies different types of distance
learning, and provides links to other Web resources. Distance Learning on the Net at www.hoyle.com/distance.htm has an extensive
database of information on distance learning for K-12, colleges, and training. Another
excellent gateway site is The Virtual Education Database at online.parkland.cc.il.us/ramage/virtualed.htm. Here you can find links to papers, research, information, contact
names; businesses, organizations, service providers, K-12 and higher education programs;
as well as other index sites. (The Comprehensive Distance Education List of Resources at www.online.uillinois.edu/ramage/ disted.html is no longer available.) If you are interested in taking a distance learning course,
Globewide Network Academy at www.gnacademy.org
provides a catalog of over 15,000 courses from kindergarten through doctoral programs.
