Conducting Distance Education Effectively


This website provides a 101 about distance education.  It also discusses how distance education is just like any other class. Effort should be made to learn as much as possible about everyone’s experiences, backgrounds, learning styles, and what they want to get out of the class, and the activities and lessons need to reflect that.

A Change Agent
As a Change Agent of Teaching and Distance Education I would restructure my instructions to model the guidelines for involving students in their learning experience.  Theses guide includes, communicating with the students, allowing student to collaborate, provide active learning experiences, provide prompt feedback, set high expectations and respect the diversity of each student.  I will continue to provide a syllabus to help them understand their responsibility for the course.  I will also provide additional information on how and when I can be contacted.

As a Change Agent, I would also create a learning community to provide the students with a classroom culture that promotes shared learning experiences and teamwork.  Creating a learning community will aide in facilitating active learning practices such as hands on activities, small group discussion, and presentations.  I will use instructional resources to enhance the quality of learning making sure I am using media that suits the instruction. 

As a Change Agent, I will make student aware of how they will be assessed.  Students will also be provided with feedback from the assessment to provide the them with the knowledge of their progress to make improvements if needed.  This will provide all students the ability to be successful.
