Distance Learning

I am very excited to learn the nuiances of Distance Learning over the next 8 weeks.  According to Schlosser and Simonson,

"Distance Education is institution-based, formal education where the learning group is separated, and where interactive telecommunications systems are used to connect learners, resources, and instructors."  (Simonson et al., 2012)
As a distance learner, I am very interested in the dynamics from the instructor's point of view as we matriculate through this course.

    I am also looking forward to this course. There is a lot of content and we will be busy but I am sure we will learn a lot. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts.
