Continuing Education for Professionals
Within the domain of Continuing Education, professional
continuing education is a specific learning activity generally
characterized by the issuance of a certificate or
continuing education units (CEU)
for the purpose of documenting attendance at a designated seminar or
course of instruction.
Licensing bodies in a number of
fields impose continuing education requirements on members who hold
licenses to practice within a particular profession. These
requirements are intended to encourage professionals to expand their
knowledge base and stay up-to-date on new developments. Depending on
the field, these requirements may be satisfied through college or
university coursework, extension courses or conferences and seminars
attendance.
Amadeus Multimedia Technologies, Ltd. has been an
industry leader in paving the way for the use of multimedia in
medical education for both providers and patients. It has been

Distance education, or distance learning, is a
field of education that focuses on the teaching, technology, and
instructional system designs that aim to deliver education to
students who are not physically "on site" in a traditional
classroom or campus. It has been described as "a process to
create and provide access to learning when the source of
information and the learners are separated by time and distance,
or both." [1]
In other words, distance learning is the process of creating an
educational experience of equal quality for the learner to best
suit their needs outside the classroom. Distance education
courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason
(including taking examinations) is considered a hybrid or
blended course of study. This emerging technology is becoming
widely used in universities and institutions around the globe. [2]
With the recent trend of technological advance, distance
learning is becoming more recognized for its potential in
providing individualized attention and communication with
students internationally. The most widely cited pedagogical
theory of distance education is that of " transactional
distance".
Types of distance education courses
- Correspondence conducted through regular mail
- Internet conducted either synchronously or
asynchronously
- Telecourse/Broadcast, in which content is delivered via
radio or
television
- CD-ROM, in which the student interacts with computer
content stored on a CD-ROM
- PocketPC/Mobile Learning where the student accesses
course content stored on a mobile device or through a
wireless server
[17]
- Integrated distance learning, the integration of live,
in-group instruction or interaction with a distance learning
curriculum
[18]
Distance Education has traversed four to five 'generations'
of technology in its history.[19]
These are print, audio/video broadcasting, audio/video
teleconferencing, computer aided instruction, e-learning/
online-learning, computer broadcasting/webcasting etc. Yet the
radio remains a very viable form, especially in the developing
nations, because of its reach. Australian children in extremely
remote areas have been participating in the "School of the air"
since the 1940s using 2 way radio[20].
In India the FM Channel is very popular and is being used by
universities, to broadcast educational programs of variety on
areas such as teacher education, rural development, programs in
agriculture for farmers, science education, creative writing,
mass communication, in addition to traditional courses in
liberal arts, science and business administration. The
increasing popularity of mp3 players,
PDAs and
Smart Phone has provided an additional medium for the
distribution of distance education content, and some professors
now allow students to listen or even watch video of a course as
a
Podcast
[21]. Some colleges have been
working with the U.S. military to distribute entire course
content on a
PDA to deployed personnel.[22]
Major
benefits of use
Distance education provides major benefits to at least three
main markets or categories, such as:
- Expanding access: Distance education can reach
underserved populations of students who cannot attend a
school that offers the educational services they desire,
perhaps because they live too far away.
- Cost reduction: Distance education can turn
production of content into a repeatable and durable learning
tool that does not require as much infrastructure. As most
material can be packaged in an easy to deliver
"just-in-time" format, the expanding payroll of educational
institutions becomes unnecessary.
- Emerging market opportunities: Distance education
fuels the public's need for lifelong learning in education
by providing access to learners not in the traditional k-12
age group.
- Adapting to new technology and environments:
Educational institutions may adopt distance education as a
means to adapt to the rapid changes in technology being used
in education today]
Method and format of continuing education
The method of delivery of continuing education can include
traditional types of classroom lectures and laboratories.
However, much continuing education makes heavy use of distance
learning, which not only includes independent study, but which
can include
videotaped/CD-ROM
material,
broadcast programming, online/Internet
delivery and online
Interactive Courses.
In addition to independent study, the use of conference-type
group study, which can include study networks (which can, in
many instances, meet together online) as well as different types
of seminars/workshops, can be used to facilitate learning. A
combination of traditional, distance, and conference-type study,
or two of these three types, may be used for a particular
continuing education course or program.
