Guided imagination seems to improve peripheral factors that support traditional academic achievement which Galyean argued was a core benefit from class practice as early as 1981 (66). On the other hand, Prangsma, van Boxtel, Kanselaar and Kirschner (2009) did not find improvement in history classrooms, but recognize this may derive from the absence of interpersonal prompting where text direction was administered instead (381). The outcome seems to be general, diffuse benefit overall, with mixed but useful benefits in different applications, and with different intensity over individual students' educational development.
If the positive behavior modification and conflict resolution many psychoanalysts, therapists and researchers claim persist after treatment, longer-term benefits likely accrue to parents and others, including more stable employment and productivity; less need for medical, mental health and correctional intervention, and resulting savings to public systems. These advantages would accrue to parents, students' families and others across society at large.
Disadvantages to students, parents and others
Not all students' performance improves with guided imagery but no medical or psychological harm seems widely reported. Wheatley, Maddox and Anthony (1989) report employing prompt words with 'pejorative' connotations may abruptly interrupt facilitated imagination (38) with unwanted, but presumably mild consequences, considering the sustained consumer and practitioner interest. If students did not benefit from treatment, the lost time potentially spent using more productive modes could be considered a disadvantage. Guided imagery may not quantify as well as more traditional methods, although the qualitative results may generate academic improvement researchers cannot directly correlate with guided imagery treatment. A larger sample would let researchers predict overall success with higher probability, if not exactly which individuals would benefit. This difficulty attributing academic performance may present a barrier to parents and administrators if results are difficult to measure, and therefore justify to educational budgeters in the statehouse.
Summary and Conclusion
Guided Imagery is a widely-employed therapeutic method derived from transpersonal psychoanalysis that is expanding into some classrooms at most levels of education. The wide demand for consumer goods, medical services and certification in this practice without dangerous side effects...

Community college students are now able to use computer software, CD-ROMS, E-mail, and the Internet to enhance their foreign language skills.

Distance learning is a new scheme or mode of transferring and acquiring learning or education through the use of modern technology between instructor and student who are separated by time and space. It can be between schools, between schools and colleges and universities, within school buildings and districts or between individuals (Burke, 2002). Is earliest prototype was the international correspondence in the 19th century. In the 1970s, it reshaped into open
