The purpose of this research paper is to further understand and focus on distance learning (DL) as a viable education method and to discuss the challenges associated with DL course delivery as well as to examine assessment of DL outcomes, such as student performance and satisfaction. The proposed study will also seek to expand the relevance of performance, perception and measurement in distance learning technology.

Before you walk through this door, or any other gateway to distance education, you might want to devote between 20 and 40 minutes to Readiness for Education at a Distance Indicator (READI), a free distance-learning aptitude assessment tool available through the UWs online independent learning resource directory (leam.zvisconsin. edu/il/readi.asp) and MATC's website (tmitcmadison.edu/readi-instructions).
