Distributed learning, is an instructional model that allows instructor, students, and content to be located in different, non-centralized locations so that instruction and learning occur independent of time and place. This strategy of education has been used for a number of years in EMS education capitalizing on a variety of distribution methods including instructional television, videotape, satellite distribution, and distributed print. The distributed learning model has been used in combination with traditional classroom-based courses, and with distance education offerings.
Over the last 5 years, use of the World Wide Web (WWW)
has mushroomed. In a very brief period, the WWW has shown that it has the
potential to be the premier vehicle for distributed learning and can enable
and enhance both classroom instruction and distance education. The WWW by
its very nature distributes resources and information, making it the tool
of choice for those interested in delivering instruction using the distributed
learning model. As the WWW technologies become more sophisticated, and as
the bandwidth of the Internet increases, there will be more tools, and more
ways to develop creative distributed learning environments.
