A. ICT-based Education is instructional delivery that does not constrain the student to be physically present in the same location as the instructor. Historically, ICT-based Education meant correspondence study. Today, audio, video, and computer technologies are more common delivery modes. ITC is the Instructional Telecommunications Council. Their definition is: "The process of extending learning, or delivering instructional resource-sharing opportunities, to locations away from a classroom, building or site, to another classroom, building or site by using video, audio, computer, multimedia communications, or some combination of these with other traditional delivery methods." ITC's definition also includes a discussion of why students take a DE course.
