Current
Learning Environments
Some distance education courses
may resemble the traditional classroom (i.e., on-site satellite
broadcast or Two-way video conferencing). But in most cases,
the learning environment in a distance learning course looks
very different than the traditional classroom experience.
Below are examples of current distance education learning
environments:
- Car (audiotapes)
- Classroom (satellite/video conferencing)
- Living Room (Public Television, Video
tapes, Web TV)
- Computer or Work Computer (e-mail, bulletin
board, web-based courses, desktop video)
- Hotel ( video, audio, print)
- Airplane ( video, audio, print)
- Kitchen table ( video, audio, print)
