"This book provides a comprehensive overview of the organizational models of distance and online learning from an international perspective and from the point of view of economic planning, costing and management decision-making. The book points to directions for further research and development in this area, and will promote further understanding and critical reflection on the part of administrators, practitioners and researchers of distance education and training. The experiences and perspectives in distance education in the United States are balanced with those in other areas of the world."--BOOK JACKET.
