1 | Students liked the job relevant skills taught |
2 | Important to have curricula mentor and technology expert at remote site; important to visit 2 or 3 times a semester |
3 | Digital Audio/video less stressful to lecturer than speaker phone |
4 | "Shy" students are helped by remote format as digital interactions are "personality neutral" |
5 | Need to keep to the point -- digressions, which are often helpful in standard lectures, tend to lose students |
6 | Need to keep everything synchronized -- chat as we tended to use it caused confusing delay |
7 | Experiments were successful but conservative -- we deliberately tried to reproduce "time honored approach" -- we can expect there to be different optimal approach in distance case than in face to face case -- find by more experiments! |
