Technologies, the Internet and Distance Education


Technologies, the Internet, and Distance Education Summary

Communication occurs when two or more individual share ideal.  In a distance education environment learners interact with one another and the instructor.  The model of communication starts with the sender and ends with the receiver of message.  Spoken words, pictures or writing is encoded over a channel.  The information is then decoded and delivered to the receiver. 

Real experiences provide the greatest impact and the foundation for learning.

Effective and efficient learning through experience is very important to distance education such as correspondence study, prerecorded media, two-way audio, two audio with graphics, one way live video, two way audio and one way video, two way audio video and desktop two way audio/video. 

The key to success with online classroom is how the technologies are used.    Instructors should assess available instructional technologies, determine the learning outcomes, identify learning experiences and match each to the most appropriate available technology, and preparing for online delivery.

The internet is a meta-network on interconnected networks that share a common language.  Internet based distance education is student centered learning the promotes active learning, collaboration, mastery of course material and student control over the learning process.  The future of internet based learning is in virtual schools, virtual colleges and universities.  Technologies are tools that must be mastered to be effective.
Reflective Practitioner
As a Reflective Practitioner for classroom technologies for online Instruction it is important to remember the key to success is how the technologies are used.  As an online instructor is imperative in selecting appropriate technology.  This process can be done by students completing a survey. Even though many technologies should be as an instructor I would not introduce to many technologies at one time.  I would like for my student to be able to demonstrate an understanding of each technology uses.  As a practitioner, I would again survey my students on preparing for the learning experience for best used strategy for online delivery.
