nearly all require some 1 in one"s career in order to attend school full time. Part-time education,
that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the 2 out over time
and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. 3 , such programs
require a fixed time commitment which can also impact 4 on one"s career and family time.
Of the many 5 to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating
is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method, which allows the students
the 6 to study at his or her own pace to achieve the 7 goals, which are so necessary in today"s
world. The time required to study may be set aside at the student"s convenience with due 8 to all
life"s other requirements. Besides, the student may 9 in distance learning courses from virtually any
place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be 10
through regular airmail, telephone, fax machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet.
Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject 11 tool with
every subject. This precludes(排除) the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take
a test. Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the 12 of the distance-learning
course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The
resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is e
mployed.
In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the 13 students but
also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational
benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. 14 distance learning
programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining(保留) career-minded

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest
possible words. | When the Internet powerhouse Yahoo wanted to teach ethics(道德标准) to its employees, it
faced a challenge familiar to multinational companies.
Yahoo employs nearly 14,000 people at 25 sites worldwide. They would feel bored at sitting
down in front of a dated video in which actors with 1980s haircuts tell them what to do. So it hired
a company calledThe Network <> to design a game. In the game, the truck
where Yahoo was founded traveled the world, turning into a boat and a helicopter along the way as
it visited some of Yahoo"s foreign offices. Participants play in game show-like scenarios(场景) that
quiz them about conflicts of interest and doing business fairly. And employees note: Yahoo is tracking
how well they do.
Such activities draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively than traditional
methods. They are described as alternative-reality games (ARGs), involving both interactive and
real-world elements. Besides teaching employees, ARGs have also been used in many areas for a
number of different purposes.
From a marketing perspective, a number of very successful ARGs have been written as a way to
build product awareness. A very popular ARG called I Love Bees was produced to market the
2004 video game Halo 2 <>. At its height, I Love Bees received between
two to three million unique visitors over the course of three months.
ARGs are more than just a fun way to learn. They have also been used to solve real world
problems. An ARG called World Without Oil <> was created to obtain
collective input from players about dealing with the world"s dependency on oil. World without Oil
simulates(模拟) the first 32 days of a global oil crisis and anybody could play by creating a personal
story that recorded the imagined reality of their life in the crisis. World Without Oil"s success on a
small budget has opened the door for similar games to engage mainstream Internet users with climate
change, education reform, governmental policy and other timely, vital issues.
