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.

An on-off campus model represents an institution which offers both traditional and electronic university and/or distance education systems simultaneously. In many cases, courses, teaching facilities, and examinations taken by on-campus students are also taken by off-campus counterparts. Thus, it is assumed that off-campus and on-campus students should meet the same criteria.

Le mandat et les ressources des unités d'enseignement à distance ne permettent pas toujours à ces dernières d'offrir l'apprentissage en ligne aux étudiants sur le campus. Néanmoins, ces unités centrales possèdent des compétences spécialisées qui, grâce à un nouveau mandat, à un financement adéquat et à une réorganisation quelconque, pourraient appuyer l'apprentissage en ligne pour les étudiants sur le campus et hors campus.
