Recent advances in computer technology (including computer-based instruction) and communication technology (including computer conferencing) have the potential to facilitate dramatic changes in the nature of delivery systems for distance education. Lauzon and Moore (1989) have argued that developments in these technologies are shifting the emphasis away from the mass production model of distance education to one which is more responsive to the personal and individual needs of learners. Yet often these technologies are thought of as antithetical and incompatible. For example, Bates (1986) has taken the position that computer-based instruction and computer conferencing represent quite different educational philosophies, making these technologies incompatible. Lauzon and Moore (1991), however, point out that the application of the specific technologies is a philosophical expression of the instructional designer/teacher and not a consequence of some inherent quality of the technology itself. Thus the argument that technologies are mutually exclusive on philosophical principles is a fallacy and the true problem facing educators is the absence of creative approaches on how to integrate these technologies into an effective delivery system for distance education; there is a need to develop models that will guide systematic integration of technologies and the delineation of appropriate application and function.This paper proposes to briefly review the concept of learning in distance education and to argue that there is a greater need for multiple patterns of interaction in the learning process. This review will be followed by a description of a model that lays the conceptual foundation for successfully integrating computer-based instruction with computer conferencing for interactive distance delivery. The model is based upon
