Distance learning attractive for many reasons
-
travel costs and scheduling issues critical for institutional training
-
Our goal was to deliver expertise not available onsite
|
Education or Training (more focused material typically without university credit)
-
Training is probably primary goal of DoD
|
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
