3. Distance Learning vs.
Distributed Learning
Distributed learning is not just a new term to place the
other DL, distance learning . Rather, it comes form the
concept of distributed resources. Distributed learning is
an instructional model that allow instructor, students and
content to be located in different noncentralized locations
so that instruction and learning occur independent of
place and time. The distributed learning model can be
used in combination with traditional classroom-based
courses, with traditional distance learning courses, or it
can be used to create wholly virtual classroom. (Saltzberg
and Polyson 1995)
4. Structuring the Instruction
The instructors responsibility is organizing the course.
The students must understand how the course will
function, so that they can be better prepared to
participate. More informed the students, the greater the
chances of success. (Sorensen and Baylen 2004)
Communication with students.
Collaboration among the students
Active learning experiences
Prompt feedback
High expectations
Respecting diversity

methods.
Technology is a tool to deliver instruction and not the
method.
The instructional setting will dictate the choice for
instructional methods.

collaboration, and student led discussion
