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 1, English, - distance%20learning%20specialist

L'université Barington est une institution d'apprentissage à distance. Ce qui signifie qu'elle n'a pas de campus tout en offrant cependant à ses étudiant(e)s une éducation de qualité. Barrington offre des programmes d'études, menant à la Licence (Bachelor) ou à la Maîtrise, à tous les individus qui se qualifient et qui désirent poursuivre des études supérieures, mais qui n'ont ni le temps et peut-être même ni les ressources matérielles pour fréquenter une université traditionnelle. Pour pouvoir offrir une éducation satisfaisante et de qualité, à un prix abordable, Barrington utilise le Courrier, le campus internet, les télécopies. 1, record 2, French, - institution%20d%27apprentissage%20%C3%A0%20distance
