Before the widespread use of electronic communications, educators used print technology and the postal service for what became known as correspondence education.

The book has been divided into ten chapters, which give us complete information on different aspects of distance education. The information about distance education systems and institutions in each country in Asia and Pacific region will be of great help to policy makers, curriculum designers, administrators, researchers, teachers and learners.
