Developments in information and communication technologies continue to affect every aspect of social life. Education is one of the most affected areas by these developments. As a consequence of the constantly evolving developments in information and communication technologies, universities have to make an effort to integrate these technologies into the field of education. Distance education (DE) is one of the applications that are emerged by the integration of communication technologies in higher education.
