ABSTRACT
Distance education as usually applied and thus described in the preceding chapters is aimed at individual students in developed parts of the world who are mainly working in the privacy of their homes, in libraries, or in rooms made available in clubs or places of work. However, there are other types of application of distance education: those in which students are continuously supported by advisers to tutors present with them for much of the time of the learning, and those where students work under primitive conditions. Some applications of special interest will be discussed here.
