The context-specific characteristics of distance education has generated specific pedagogical professions including the distance teacher, the content expert, and the distance learning specialist such as the instructional designer(Rekkedal, 1994). However, not every department can afford to employ a distance learning specialist to provide training and support to the faculty during the on-line course development process and during the ongoing teaching process, but if the institution is willing to have a distance learning specialist employed, he or she might be assigned to assist multiple academic departments. 1, record 2, English, - distance%20learning%20specialist
