Identify the theories of distance learning.
2.3
• Framing and reframing occur throughout the
process and the heart of the process, the acts
of learning, are transformative in that they
“transform” the existing state of knowledge
into the new state that emerges from the old
(Haythornthwaite & Andrews, 2011).
• Because the online community is different
from and interacts differently than the
learning community in an in-person class, the
nature of the learning itself is affected
(Haythornthwaite & Andrews, 2011).

learners. 2.4
