Abstract
Development of distance education across the world is influenced by economics, politics, technology, and societal issues, it is important for distance program designers to be aware that technology applications in distance education may provide quality education for mass populations, radically increasing equal access to opportunity. Clear educational purposes, and careful decision-making and program design are key factors to develop a good distance education program to serve an increasing mass population. When determining instructional media in distance education, elements such as access, cost, and level of interaction are key factors need to be considered.
