Foil 4 Traditional Approaches to Distance Learning

From Remarks on Distance Learning NCSA Visit and SU teaching Tools -- Sept 25 and Nov 6 97. by Marek Podgorny (Geoffrey C. Fox)
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
