The perception of Distant Learning will improve positively and dramatically
within the next five to twenty years based on advances within technology and the
ability to interactive online with the World Wide Web. Both instructors, students
will be able to participate in courses across the world via the Internet. Distant
Learning popularity will increase as the digital divide is narrowed and our
lifestyle and society becomes more advanced and technical. The increase for
business and professional learning will largely rely on the Internet. Both adults
and Kindergarteners will utilize technology and distant learning from anywhere, on
any topic and anytime. Courses can be certified or non-certified, degreed or non-
degree for business or personal purposes.
As Instructional Designers we can initiate a positive image by developing functional
and practical designs and images that offer interaction and engagement by discussion
and research. By utilizing cutting edge technology, learning can be both stimulating and
challenging offering exciting alternatives to learning styles.
As designers being familiar with the latest technology and design equips us with the
proper tools to develop, replace or enhance existing traditional learning. As we
continue to strive to learn in order to give expert design and instruction to our learners, it
is imperative that we keep up with the latest trends in order to give our learners the best
we have to offer. By using precise. clear and accurate instruction enables learners to
perform their best and to “think outside of the box” while engaging with graphics and
design in order to communicate freely and openly over the internet with discussions
such as BLOGS and CMS‘s, etc. to the ends of the earth.
As an Instructional Designer, I plan to be a positive force for the continuous
improvement in the field of distant education by staying connected to Discussion
Groups and improving my technical skills, in order to incorporate the latest
technology and trends into my design. I plan to get the word out on Distant Learning and
inform others of the advantages and benefits in order to provide the highest quality
design and instruction with proper planning and training.
By breaking down social walls and barriers in education by
communicating to anyone who wants to learn from next door to Africa or China to
students all over the world. The sky is the limit for Distant Learning and tests for state
and federal exams can now be taken over the internet with webcam instead of traveling to
other cities or countries. Distant Learning has come a long way from television in the
classroom, or watching cable programs to the Wireless Internet utilizing technology and
satellite to gain knowledge. Distant Learning will affect everyone directly or indirectly.

Distant Learning Conversion Guide
Pre-Planning Strategies
Course Assessment and Evaluation
• Review and rewrite the learning objectives
• Rely on adult learning principles to make the content relevant and meaningful
• Create a design outline that strives to build interaction every 3 - 5 minutes of the facilitated web session
• Enhance the PowerPoint slide presentation with effective photos, graphics, and illustrations
• Ensure application and practice remain an important part of the design
• Blend asynchronous online activities (such as blogging) with live facilitated sessions
• Support learning transfer with online reinforcement tools
Enhanced Distance Learning Format
Repurpose existing documents and tailor them to meet specific needs of distant learners When you're engaged in the conversion process, you need to pay attention to the design process, as well as the web conferencing tools and server access for learners.. To achieve success in the conversion of course content, you must select a web tools and technology that everyone is familiar with and has access to.
Trainer Role in Distant Learning
The trainer role changes from face-to-face communication to the Internet and precise clear communication via the Internet. The trainers participation in online instruction is vital to the success of the learner. They must allow the learner to contact them with questions and ensure that the software, syllabus and lesson plan is available and accessible. Availability and Accountability to Interact with the Learner by participating in their discussions. Check on students to ensure they are logged on
Participate in Discussion and offer suggestions and to keep them on track.
Trainer Steps to encourage online communication
Presents few challenges or barriers to participants new to web conferencing Provides a variety of interaction tools, including chat, polling, and annotation incorporate break-out rooms for lively small group discussions. Offer two-way communication (through teleconferencing) to engage learners. Supports the use of multi-media (video and audio) Handle sophisticated slide presentations that include animation and graphics to ensure that the Facilitator or Trainer is available and that the students have the tools and feel confident that they will succeed.
