1 Distance learning attractive for many reasons
  • travel costs and scheduling issues critical for institutional training
  • Our goal was to deliver expertise not available onsite
2 Education or Training (more focused material typically without university credit)
  • Training is probably primary goal of DoD
3 Asynchronous (access to web based material) or Synchronous (teacher interacting with students in real time) or both
  • Asynchronous attractive if poor interconnect (eg international) and for very busy motivated students)
  • K-12 learning models suggest collaborative groups
