“I had always wanted a masters degree， but its hard to suspend a Career and a family forit， especially when the closest school of public health is four hours away，” says Jerry Parks， 45，assistant health director for Albemarle Regional Health Services in eastern North Carolina. As it turns out16， he didnt have to move or commute to get his degree. After three years ofcoursework via teleconferencing and the Internet， Parks is finishing up a master s from theSchool of Public Health at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.。 As more people turn to distance education， a debate has flared over whether it can be agood substitute for face-to-face instruction. Thomas Russell， author of a 1999 report titled”The No Significant Difference Phenomenon，”which reviews more than 350 studies ofdistance-learning programs， argues that the two modes of instruction are equivalent as far asstudent learning is concerned17. Rebecca Behrend， for one， believes that distance ed is thesuperior choice. Behrend， 45， obtained a doctoral degree in clinical psychology last springfrom Walden University， a respected virtual institution. She says the discussions betweenstudent and professor， and among peers， were more rigorous than those she experienced in thetwo on-campus masters programs she previously attended.“We needed to cite references foreverything we said [in E-mail postings]，” explains Behrend.“It wasnt like the usual chattingin the classroom.”。 But critics say that many of the studies cited in Russells book are poorly designed， andthey vehemently disagree with his point of view.“I dont think you can get any education overthe Intemet，” says David Noble， a historian of technology at York University in Toronto.”Education requires a relationship between people because its a process of identity formation，validation， encouragement， emulation， and inspiration18. This only happens face to face.” Even advocates acknowledge that distance education isnt for everyone——that it takesindependence19， self-discipline， and a lot of motivation to succeed. Further， the quality ofdistance-degree programs is uneven.“A majority of universities have entered thedistance-learning market rapidly and are not well prepared，” says Vicky Phillips coauthor ofThe Best Distance Learning Graduate Schools （Princeton Review Publishing， 1999， $20）20.”Students run the risk of21 being guinea pigs.” Thus，its important to consider an array offactors before choosing a school： accreditation， program history， cost， academic field， residency，and technology22.
