There are two key differences between traditional education and distance learning. Distance learning adds flexibility and availability, regardless of time, place, or pace of learning. An instructor teaches, and somewhere a student learns, regardless of barriers of time or place. Distance learning reaches out to non-traditional students who must fit their studies around work-place and family responsibilities, geographical barriers, or personal challenges. Students can be at satellite campuses, at the workplace, or at home. Instruction may take place in real time or on a time-delayed basis. Interactivity between student and instructor, as well as among students themselves can be built into the program. The outcome can be an undergraduate or graduate degree, professional certification or CEUs, on-the-job training, or life-long learning. Instruction is delivered using a number of technologies, depending on what is most appropriate for the subject and the targeted group of students. Technologies can be as straight-forward as the classic correspondence-school model of paper-based postal-delivered instruction. Students progress through the course at their own speed, usually in isolation. Distance learning models are as varied and numerous as the courses themselves. The most effective distance learning courses possess special design features that take advantage of the medium of distribution and the nature of the subject being taught. 49. Which of the following is true? ( B ) (a) Distance education is all on-the-job training. (b) Distance education can also offer a graduate degree. (c) Distance education is only available to students many miles away(d) Distance education usually takes a lifelong time.50.

( C ) (a) course conducted primarily with videotape(b) course tailored to suit the student population(c) class session broadcast live via satellite(d) model continuously modifiedQuestions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage:“There is a senseless notion that children grow up and leave home when they're 18, and the truth is far from that,” says sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin. Today, unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents. “There is a major shift in the middle class,” declares sociologist Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University, whose son, 19, moved back in after an absence of eight months. Analysts cite a variety of reasons for this return to the nest. The marriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people. A high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters. For some the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so excessively great that many students now attend local schools. Even after graduation, young people find their wings clipped by skyrocketing housing costs. Living at home, says Knighton, a school teacher, continues to give her security and moral support. Her mother agreed, “It's ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent. It makes sense for kids to stay at home.” But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all. There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. Some families, however, manage the delicate balancing act. But for others, it proves too difficult.
