Distance Learning
What a wonderful convenience distance learning has become. I am typing this in my hotel room in St. Louis and enjoying the experience of contributing to the blog away from home or work. While some have valid arguements regarding online learning, I enjoy the convenience, portability and flexibility. Quite honestly, online learning has afforded me the luxury of completing my Master's Degree. Parenting and a full-time job limits the hours of available time for attending traditional seated courses. While I have taken three seated courses, the remainder were all online. Completing assignments late in the night or early in the morning are norms.

Melissa you are correct Distance Learning is an awesome tool. I was instructing and blended learning class and just logged off the internet using Adobe Connect. It is a web conferencing solution to improve collaboration. It provides self-paced online learning, and allows you to conduct highly interactive virtual classes, while managing training programs. All this was done right in my own home; it will be interesting what the future holds for collegiate education in the next several years.
ReplyDeleteWow! That sounds great. Was this course offered through Drury? What did you like the best/least about Adobe Connect?
