- In a traditional classroom, it’s fairly easy to tell when you are losing your students. Eyelids droop. Heads start to bob. And you have this funny feeling that the click-clacking of keyboards isn’t the result of copious note-taking. In an online classroom, it’s a little more difficult. Not only is it impossible to tell what students are doing on the other end, but the students have access to so many more distractions that it’s sometimes hard to keep them engaged in their learning.
Distributed learning, rather than distance education will become the dominant paradigm for higher education The possibilities represented by distributed learning are great as are the challenges it brings. I would like to briefly discuss some of those challenges and then the solutions to overcoming these challenges.
Technology should not just enhance our current instructional approaches (ie. lecture on Power Point). Have to look back at our fundamental student learning goals for a specific course and brainstorm ways to use technology to enhance student learning. The technology cannot drive the teaching and learning. “ After all, technique is the differentiating force with all technologies” (Hamilton, 1999) People, institutions, companies and society at large, transform technology, any technology, by appropriating it, modifying it, by experimenting with it” (Castells, 2001)

Use this as audience gauging activity.
Jobs says technology will amaze, but teachers are still at the epicenter (Newsweek, 2001). Distributed learning is much more than an online substitute for lectures and professors. Distributed learning extends the opportunities for interaction between faculty and student, incorporating simulations and visualizations, as well as collaborative learning. The “any time, anyplace” nature of this new set of electronic educational opportunities may well have its greatest impact on face-to-face education. Since distributed education can occur anywhere and at any time, these conditions can be modified on a number of dimensions. It will involve faculty to determine how these modifications will be made.
-In all my courses, I have focused on how to best foster the deep learning ideas and development of student thinking skills and use technology that addresses “bottlenecks.” -Technology enables many pedagogical strategies that were impossible or impractical
