Distance learning as a relationship that can emerge any discussion to try distance learning. Distance learning is any number of instructional situations. This process has been done through t correspondence courses this is very popular as technology changes so does distance learning through radio,television and also correspondence courses that teach subjects such as foreign languages. The internet and compressed video have taken distance learning in a new direction and has allowed distance learning to occur in real life video instructions as became one of the most popular and fastest growing delivery mode The comparisons that I found between University of Phoenix library databases are the articles from published newspapers, magazines, journals, newsletters, investments, reports, financial documents, and reference books.

...will only continue to benefit our lives. With the invention of television, phones, computers, e-mail, Internet, and videoconferencing, health care has started to use these new forms of media technology to allow patients and health care professionals to work together in a way they never could before known as Telemedicine. According to du Pre (2005), “Telemedicine is the process of communicating across distances for health-related purposes” (p. 76). Telemedicine has been extremely useful in bridging the distance gap between patients living in rural communities and doctors working in larger cities. Another advantage of telemedicine is that it has allowed health care information to be transmitted just about as quickly as it would in real life with only a short delay. This in turn has allowed health care professionals to respond quickly when time can play a critical factor in saving a patient’s life. Telemedicine also has allowed health care professionals the ability to access patient records quickly and from locations all around the world (du Pre, 2005). With Telemedicine’s ability to bridge the distance gap between patients and health care professionals several disadvantages also exist, especially when it comes to the cost of setting up and maintaining the use of new media technologies. According to du Pre (2005) “One reason for the slow beginning is cost. Technology is expensive and quickly outdated”...

As an administrator, one will establish effective communication and prepare family members for this transition. Communication comes in many forms; traditional, electronic, and social media. Communicating and contacting the individuals relatives will be the first step in implementing theses developments. Emails will be sent out to these relatives, phone calls will be made, and trips to the nursing home will take place. Some relatives reside long distances from the facility, making this transition more challenging. One will be making contact with the family members and developing an applicable plan to accommodate to the residents to relocate them to another quality residence. The next step in the transition would be to see if the resident’s relatives have power of attorneys in hand, and they have to sign medical release forms with the legal forms.

...culture aspect based on the high power distance that expressed the attitude of the culture towards these inequalities among people. As Thomas Hobbes said “ It is not wisdom but authority that makes law”, Chinese belongs to high power distances culture that can be shown as three examples from the business relationship, education, and family. In societies which high power distance such as China, people getting power enjoy the greater status than those without power. Similarly, in the Chinese business world, the ranking is extremely significant in the business relationship and people getting into a cooperative business with China must keep rank differences while communicating. For example, when coming to a place or attending a conference where Chinese collaborators are gathering together, you have to greet to someone who has a higher rank first. Also, when you have a meal with Chinese businessman, it is ruled to start eating before the highest person starts. In addition,” business relationship” in China is not based on money, it is somehow the Chinese people feel respected when doing business together. Understanding and following the principle factor in business is the advantage way to build a close rapport with the partners. The dimension deals with the fact that most individuals in China society is not equal which expresses the attitude of the culture through the inequalities in education.

...dealing with this because there are women who take advantage of the fact. So with religion its simply balanced to say a woman was made from a mans rib. A woman wants love but response to a man being disrespectful or not interested balanced with a "I love you". A man wants love but response to a woman when she pushes him away or steps on his love like its not good enough balanced with a I'd like you to try harder. From both perspectives its simply a tomato twomato thing. Truth is we get scared to Love some one so much because we don't want to over power that feeling on others in our life we love such as family. So what is the balance of over Powering love, well thats easy something to revolve around, such as hobbies, kids, gossip, knowledge, education and even going further to define the meaning of Love. Personally Love means appreciation. More than what money can buy, but appreciating the presence of the significant other appreciating the energy, the positive out look, the positive intention, commitment, when being in a relationship communication is important, but as you may already know there are multiple ways...

...never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.” My wife and I started out in a long distance relationship. We set out with some ground rules, and one of those rules was no serious conversations via text. The text message is very impersonal, but the biggest issue I had was not being able to see or hear her while we talked. I had a problem with communicating over a long distance because I rely on the non verbal indicators that are loaded with information. My wife and I would text every day and talk on the phone quite often, but I refused to have any sort of disagreement while on the phone. There are too many misunderstanding that could occur if we kept our conversations to strictly electronic. When you are dealing with a text or an email, you lose a portion of the conversations impact because of the lack of these visual cues. In a normal verbal conversation there are visual and auditory clues that a person can pick up on. While I was in the Marines, I was trained as a recruiter. As we all know, a recruiter’s job is to talk to, inform, and screen possible applicants for entry into the U.S. Marines. While I was going through the training for this job, we learned about demonstrative communication. This was the first time I have had any formal education in this subject. We were taught to rely on the non verbal clues just as much as the verbal ones. In my experience the non verbal ones were always a little...

...Future Trends in Health Care Introduction The wave of the future of health care seems limitless. We will be taking a look at the “future trends in health care. We will also include an assessment of how the Internet, or any other form of electronic communications, may be used as an external delivery source in communicating patient-specific information. We will address the impact of distance delivery on health care. Also, we will consider the use of e-mail, telemedicine, and the electronic transfer of records. Lastly, we will share our assessment of how these issues impact health care today and how they might impact health care five years from now” (Syllabus, 2014). Future Trends in Health Care A study was done to “ascertain the future need for and focus of doctoral health education, particularly in relation to the importance of interdisciplinary instruction, research preparation, and program delivery modality” (Leja, 2002, pp. 1). The results showed that there are fundamental changes coming in how health care provision is done and the delivery of health care information. Currently, there is a “misalignment in the current training and education of students in the health care professions with the demands of the newly emerging health care systems” (Leja, 2002, pp. 1). External Delivery Sources In the 1990’s, health care changes resulted in dramatic changes in which health services are delivered. The financial, legal, and organizational structures have been turned into systems...

...In a study analyzing variable factors that lead to learning successes and failures in distance education, DANTES (Defense Activity for Non-traditional Education Support), the leader in distance education for the Armed Forces, developed a list of critical factors that lead to success in non-traditional learning: * The student must have an academic goal that can be articulated. * Emotional maturity is essential as distance learning can be lonely. * The student must be able to set and achieve goals. * The student must be able to work alone. * The student must be a self-starter and self-motivated. * The student must have self-understanding of needs and limitations. * Students need to have persistence and patience. * Students must be self-confident. * Students need above-average reading and writing ability. * The student must be willing to contact faculty and fellow students for help with content problems. * The student must have an academic support system at home (Source: Suite101: What You Need to Know About Online Education: Essential Knowledge When Considering Distance Education) Those who are not familiar with online learning think it is not difficult at all. They later discover that it is quite challenging. The U.S. Department of Education conducted a review that compared the effects of online learning with learning in the traditional face-to-face setting. The Department published its findings in a report called the "Evaluation...

...Education is the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life. Teachers in educational institutions direct the education of students and might draw on many subjects, including reading, writing, mathematics, science and history. This process is sometimes called schooling when referring to the education of teaching only a certain subject, usually as professors at institutions of higher learning. There is also education in fields for those who want specific vocational skills, such as those required to be a pilot. In addition there is an array of education possible at the informal level, such as, in museums and libraries, with the Internet and in life experience. HISTORY The history of education according to Dieter Lenzen, president of the Freie Universität Berlin 1994 "began either millions of years ago or at the end of 1770". Education as a science cannot be separated from the educational traditions that existed before. Adults trained the young of their society in the knowledge and skills they would need to master and eventually pass on.[citation needed] The evolution of culture, and human beings as a species depended on this practice of transmitting knowledge.[citation needed] In pre-literate societies this was achieved orally and through imitation. Story-telling continued from one generation to the next. Oral language developed...
