Traditional Approaches to Distance Learning
CD-ROM - based distance learning
- Non-interactive
- Interaction with computer ? Interaction with instructor
- Without instructor, it leads to low completion rates
- Does not support student’s group interactions
- No real-time student verification
- Difficult effectiveness assessment, hence not suitable for certificate courses
- Contents is expensive to develop
- CD-ROM technology is a good add-on to Web-based training, but it isn’t very useful stand-alone for DL applications
