Abstract (2. Language): 
New developments in technology, particularly the information technology, have changed the perception of learning. These changes have made distance learning (DL) an important part of education. DL has become an alternative to traditional face-to-face learning. DL provides flexibility for students; thus, they can obtain desired education without being dependent to time and locations. In addition to schools and universities, public and private originations widely use DL. Similarly, the Turkish National Police (TNP) trains its members via DL. Since 2006, the TNP annually trains 5.000 members using DL applications. Although DL provides many opportunities for organizations, when it is compared with the traditional classroom learning, different environment of DL contains some barriers including environment of DL, self-direction, design, instructor, communication, feedback, experience, and technology. These barriers can influence performance, success, and satisfaction of students. The TNP has invested a great amount of resources in DL. To make these investments worthy, the TNP should deal with these barriers. To eliminate the barriers to DL and to improve DL effectiveness, solutions are available. This article analyzes DL and its barriers to take attention of the TNP. In addition, this article provides some solutions to eliminate the barriers and to obtain more effective and efficient learning from DL.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Teknolojideki, özellikle bilgi teknolojilerindeki gelişmeler eğitime bakış açılarını değiştirdi. Bu değişimler, uzaktan eğitim uygulamalarını eğitim faaliyetlerinin önemli bir parçası haline getirdi. Uzaktan eğitimin öğrencilere sağladığı esneklik ile artık öğrenciler arzu ettikleri eğitimleri zaman ve mekana bağlı kalmadan elde edebilmektedirler. Okullar ve üniversitelerle beraber özel ve kamu kuruluşları da yaygın olarak uzaktan eğitimi kullanmaktadırlar. Benzer olarak, Türk Polis Teşkilatı da mensuplarını uzaktan eğitim kullanarak eğitmektedir. Türk Polis Teşkilatı 2006 yılından bu yana yıllık olarak yaklaşık 5.000 personeline uzaktan eğitim uygulamalarını kullanarak eğitim vermektedir. Uzaktan eğitim, organizasyonlar için bir çok fırsatlar sunmasına rağmen geleneksel eğitim ile karşılaştırıldığında uzaktan eğitimin dizayn, eğitimci, iç disiplin, geri bildirim, tecrübe, teknoloji ve farklı çevre koşulları kaynaklı engelleri vardır. Bu engeller öğrencilerin başarı, performans ve memnuniyetlerini etkilemektedir. Türk Polis Teşkilatı önemli derecede kaynaklarını uzaktan eğitim için harcamaktadır. Bu kaynakların kazanca dönüştürülmesi için Türk Polis Teşkilatının uzaktan eğitimin bu engellerini elimine etmesi gerekmektedir. Bu engelleri elimine etmek ve uzaktan eğitimin etkilerini artırmak için çözümler vardır. Bu makale, Türk Polis Teşkilatının dikkatini çekmek amacı ile uzaktan eğitimi ve uzaktan eğitime engel unsurları analiz etmektedir. Ayrıca, bu makale uzaktan eğitimin engellerini elimine edecek ve uzaktan eğitimin etkinliğini artıracak çözümler de sunmaktadır.
