Before heading on with the rest of the trip, let's do a quick checklist (review) of the topics introduced here. Distance education development and delivery is different from traditional education in these three ways:

• The use of technology to "bridge" students and instructors.
• Students are not time-bound or place-bound to take distance education courses.
• Distance learners don't necessarily share the same characteristics as "traditional" higher education students.
