Distance Learning

Abstract

This tutorial covers how to design and deliver a distance learning class. The motivation for distance learning programs is presented, along with the selection, deployment, and use of distance learning technologies. We examine how preparing and teaching a distance learning class is different from a face-to-face class and how to evaluate the effectiveness of a distance learning class. Case studies will illustrate the use of distance learning technologies and the broad range of situations and institutions in which distance learning is employed.
