The Handbook of Distance Education, 4th Edition, edited by Michael Grahame Moore and William C. Diehl, is an extensive research handbook published by Routledge. The volume synthesizes foundational and operational scholarship across the discipline.

Coverage addresses historical and conceptual foundations, attributes of teaching and learning using technology, management and administration, and distinct educational providers and audiences.

Contributing scholars throughout the volume identify future research priorities using established practices, research findings, and shifts in policy, pedagogy, and implementation. Moore previously published the first formal statement of distance education theory in 1972.
