This document discusses issues and concerns with distance learning. It identifies several key challenges, including the separation of teacher and learner, the need for educational media to connect them, and establishing two-way communication. Some prominent issues are what is different about teaching at a distance, reasons for distance learning like lack of transportation or teachers, and ways to improve planning, organization, meet student needs, teaching skills, and interaction/feedback. Challenges of distance learning include needing computer/internet access, requiring self-motivation since there is less pushing from professors, difficulty finding one-on-one time with professors, potential lack of campus atmosphere, and needing to find own academic resources.
