Description

ABSTRACT Traditional classrooms accompanied by face-to-face interaction among students and faculty members, lectures, text and other readings, experiential learning through actual field trips and case studies are components of traditional course delivery systems. For most faculty, those were the structures used for the faculty member's studies prior to teaching. Increasingly, schools are delivering course materials using the distributed learning technologies. Those technologies include using synchronous learning tools, such as interactive live video feeds, asynchronous learning tools, such as taped lectures, and "quasi-synchronous" tools such as discussion boards (threaded discussions) and virtual classrooms. This paper discusses the different technologies, their relationship to different learning styles and one example of using such technologies to delivery a completely online, internet-based course. It concludes with recommendations to faculty members who may use components or all of the technologies currently available.
