A review of the rehabilitation counseling literature revealed a dearth of information clinical skill development using distance education mediums. A case study of a Rehabilitation Counseling Practicum I class that used Interactive Television (ITV), a synchronous distance education medium, was undertaken at a large southwestern university. The purpose of the study was to explore, using a qualitative approach, the use of ITV to deliver a counseling skill course to rehabilitation counseling education students. Many studies have examined students' perceptions of distance education, but no studies were found describing the use of ITV in teaching counseling skills via distance education. Using field observations, three major themes were identified: learning environment, skill building, and interactions.

Rehabilitation counselors may not be prepared to address the needs of individuals living with lupus, unless they are familiar with the medical, functional, and vocational implications of lupus as impediments to employment. Currently, the rehabilitation counseling literature involving working with lupus appears scant. The current article aims to address this deficit by offering data-driven recommendations and an applied approach for conceptualizing a client living with lupus. The authors use a case study based on the lived experience of an individual with lupus as a means to provide anecdotal information about specific areas to consider when providing services to individuals living with this condition. The authors will then integrate this information into the treatment planning process using the DOACLIENTMAP model (Seligman, 1990).

The Bologna Process, Information and Communication Technology, and market forces have brought manyinnovations and great changes to higher education systems throughout Europe. Reforms in higher educationhave taken a new direction, towards making higher education students more autonomous. However, manycountries have not really adopted this innovative way of teaching and still maintain an old ‘transmission’ stylewhich often entails teachers trying to pour knowledge into the minds of their students. Promoting autonomouslearning (the ability of students to manage their own learning) in higher education is crucial both for theindividual and society, as the idea of an academic student comprises critical reflective thinking and theimportance of becoming an independent learner. This article will discuss the importance of promotingautonomous learning throughout self, peer and co-assessment for higher education quality enhancement. Thepaper will examine the case of International Black Sea University’s MA students enrolled in the Higher EducationManagement program. The analyses of a survey will be used to discuss the significance of autonomous learningfor students and their readiness for self, peer and co-assessment.


No teaching method has evolved as much as distance education, in the state of Amazonas this would not be different, especially in higher education. Distance Education is a modality where the student is separated from the teacher and uses several communication technologies around all his learning. The methods used were bibliographic, documentary and quantitative. The researched environment was the capital city of Manaus and the municipality of Maués, with the application of the closed questionnaire aimed at higher education students. Our objective was to question certain nuances as their benefits and challenges for those who study Distance Education in the different locations of the State of Amazonas. The result was the realization that among its many advantages in the execution of education, time is considered the main one, and the loss of deadlines its greatest disadvantage, besides the concept of distance education is already well known by university students. Thus, it is well known that with the passing of time and with the progress of the state's modernization, distance education is gradually becoming the most practical means of teaching.

"Distance education" at the college level is well over a century old.  It has served the needs of a numerically large, but proportionately small population of learners who have eschewed the campus classroom.  These correspondence school enrollees, educational TV watchers, and audiocassette listeners have had only modest impact on the structure, mission, and strategy of the institutions serving them.  But that is now changing, and changing very dramatically.  The advent of the Internet, interactive television technology, and web-based instructional software, coupled with administrative and political perceptions of educational reformation and fiscal efficiency, may be causing nothing less than a revolution in higher education.  By applying a feminist model of assessment called "unthinking technology," that is to say, exploring the potential, but unthought of socio-political aspects of this technological revolution, this paper raises significant questions about the security of the traditional academic enterprise.  "The Politics of Distance Education" urges a pro-active embrace of these technologies by the academy in order to enable a legitimate "competency for grievance" so that the protection of the validity of higher education, and legitimacy of the academic profession can be ethically defended and publicly respected, rather than being viewed as mulish resistance to the inevitable.
