Education
Description
In the last 50 years, distance education has gone mainstream that hardly any institution (particularly higher education institutions) with a form of campus education does not claim to have a form of distance education. However, this is not necessarily open learning. Distance education has benefited tens of thousands people; in South Asia alone, all countries have distance education programs.
In the last 50 years or so, the practice of distance education has evolved through generations of change. Gradually, as new technology became available, distance education has taken on new forms. The evolution of distance education is considered to have gone through five generations or models.
