Required text for my class. I appreciated the straight forward writing of Moore & Kearsley, made it an easier read for a text book.

Distance Education-A systems view

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2010

Verified Purchase

The book by Moore and Kearsley, 2005. Distance Education-A systems view gives in-depth knowledge on distance education and developments in the field. This book is valuable for education institutions who wish to embark on distance education.

For students studying education and the practise of distance education, this book explains teaching at a distance in detail. Technology and media in distance education such as print, audio and video, radio and television, teleconferencing,computer-based learning and media and technology selection and or integration are describe with references to transformation into unimagined technology application in learning.

Distance education and instructional design are explained in detail. The challenges for higher education are referred to and the transformation needed to position themselves is evident in this book. The authors gave benchmarks for success throughout the book which is helpful in the planning and maintaining of vibrant distance education initiatives.

References to support material and web based links make this book a definite must on every distance educator's desk.

Distance Education: A LONG time ago

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 6, 2010

Verified Purchase

This book is no longer timely. It was published/copyrighted in 2005. The information that it contains is no longer applicable to modern distance/virtual learning. The author downplays audio and video streaming related to distance learning because in 2005 it was not as prevalent. Futhermore, it does not take into account the trend of ALL colleges and universities moving in this direction.

The systems view information regarding course design is good - but everything else is outdated.

I recommend you find another book that is more timely.

This book has been helpful to me so far in my IT 540 class that I started.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 1999

Verified Purchase

Perhaps this book was written for policy-makers. It's not very specific about curriculum design nor technology, if that's what you are looking for. It does a pretty job of citing other research and case-studies of implementation. It also seems to state a lot of "basics": like "The study guide should do more than merely present subject matter. It should contain directions and guidance for the students..." (page 79). This doesn't seem very insightful nor specific to distance education.

This was an insanely expensive book. This was the best price I could find! Shipped fast. Container might have more sound, but otherwise I was thrilled to get it at.

Would have been a okay resource in 2005; too outdated to be useful now

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book is outdated, and (for an academic text) at times a little precursory in its approach. The authors talk at great length about how quickly the field changes, but the book was published in 2005 and doesn't seem to have received any updates since then. Like other reviewers have said, the "systems view" of distance education is an interesting approach to the topic of distance education, but I can't say much more for it. It was a required text for one of my Master's courses at Penn State. I'm glad I rented rather than buying--not a book I would reference again outside of the required context.

An Excellent Reference Book

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

A lot of what's in this book is basic stuff, or a lot of it will become basic stuff if you plan to study DE in depth. A lot of it isn't all that basic either, but will seem like it once you start to study the concepts presented here. This is one of those books that's worthwhile to buy in print, make notes in and refer back to either when planning course design or for general review.

Moore & Kearsly use ample examples in the book of actual organizations and institutions. This certainly runs the risk of being dated, but with the explanations along with the examples, they are less dependent on the actual link and more useful in their description. The book is also a great mix of theory and practical aspects of DE such as administration. It's a must have reference book on the subject.
