Distributed Education (DE) is learning and teaching that includes choices from a variety of learning technologies. DE means extending student learning outside of the classroom. For faculty, DE can vary from having students listen to a radio program, to a fully online course, to some hybrid of the two. With DE, the possibilities are endless.
