Topic: distance education on geography. The target of this master writing is to research the usage of distance education courses to teach geography. This title gives overview on history, popularity and the spread of learning on distance education in Lithuania and the World. It analyses learning procedures and techniques, overviews existing education courses, evaluates distance education software and web services, gives overview of the distance learning course development stages, includes sample courses and even has step-by-step instructions for creating lessons for those courses. Some distance K-12 classes were observed during the year to realize the need and potential of distance education. The need of distance education in Lithuania isconstantly raises with reference to the information contained in this writing. Sometimes distance education is most convenient and evens the only way to achieve K-12 education (i.e. for physically disabled people, for children constantly traveling with their parents, etc.). Students select geography as suitable for distance education like other non-math disciplines. Great success in developing distance education geography courses gives the ability to enrich them with visual aids.

This gives an opportunity to improve the procedures. Hopefully this... [to full text]

The rapid convergence of technologies of communication into a multimedia environment taking place over the last decade has created a new interest in the possibilities offered by videoconferencing systems. We are thus beginning to see the expansion of the potential for various levels of human interaction mediated by video in both business and educational domains. Through the support of the technologically mediated environment, people now have the capability to travel across time and space, meeting with other individuals, seemingly as if face-to-face. The purpose of this thesis is to explore more fully some of the issues of the new communication technologies (differences between face-to-face and mediated communication, changes to our conceptions of time and space, and problems of privacy and surveillance) and specifically how they apply to various videoconferencing scenarios as well as to a more detailed case study of a teleteaching experiment conducted recently at a French research institute.
