Distance education (DE) is a growing national trend, with courses and enrollments nearly doubling between 1994-5 and 1997-8. Technical communication
practitioners and departments should take advantage of
the benefits DE offers, including geographical and
chronological access, integration of learning space and
working space, and less time spent in lecture and more
time responding to work or more time studying.
Currently, technical communication education
departments offer classes, certificates, and degrees via
distance, varying from one undergraduate introductory
class to 36-credit Master’s degrees. Future directions
might include more programs to accommodate students,
concentrations such as cross-cultural communication,
and shorter courses to accommodate specific needs.
