The OLE software makes distance education possible for students who cannot attend or choose not to attend typical face-to-face classes and has many advantages to both the instructor and the student. OLEs are not without new challenges. One of the...

Azma Abdul Hamid

The Internet and Higher Education > 2001 > 4 > 3-4 > 311-316
