Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Medienpädagogik, ( Atlantic International University ), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This text presents the long journey of Distance Education, a journey that started from the creation and development of postal services in Europe:the Era of correspondence learning. Then,the introduction of multi-media in the 1920sas the second generation of distance learning.The third Generation of E- Learning appeared with the wide spreads of the computer and the internet at the beginning of the twenty first century. In order to better serve the clientele of e-learning, some scholars among whom Charles Graham, invented what they called the seven principles for the effective online teaching and the evaluation of online courses.We confronted those principles with the instruction method in use at AIU, a non traditional university and we discovered that two of the seven principles that work with traditional online universities are not applicable to AIU, a non traditional university.We recommended the authors of the seven principles to re-examine their study, taking into account the specific learning needs of self-regulated learners, as well as the innovations in use at AIU. We ended with some suggestions to other online universities to better serve their clientele by adapting, if not adopting the system in use at AIU, for, the predicted glorious victory of e-learning over traditional campus learning, is dependent on the constant improvement of e-learning.
