Dan Ogden assignment 12a

A new emerging technology that is starting to catch a trend is distant learning. On the website Distant Learning Homepage of Western Carolina University, they define distant learning as "the delivery of instruction to the right group of people at the right time in the right place. The educator and the learner may be separated by time, distance, or both. It may or may not include technology." Rapid advances in computer and telecommunications capabilities have made possible the development of learning modules that include elements such as video transmission, e-mail, the Internet, and the World Wide Web.

To apply this to your education experience, you can use Distant Learning if you can not be in the classroom physically but over the internet and through a tv. This would be better then leaving instructions on a piece of paper for a substitute. Instead it feels as if your presence is still in the classroom even though you could be a million miles away.
