EDT 321~ Distance Learning vs. Traditional

Reflect on this comment in Chapter 5 and post your response in this blog:

Right now, the majority of formal education is still carried out in the “traditional” manner of bringing students together in classes taught by a faculty member. However, CAL, DL, and hybrid courses are beginning to take a significant bite out of this approach.

Self-assess your current experiences in CAL, DL, and hybrid courses, Help features on a
computer, and other non-traditional aids to learning. What are you doing to gain increased
expertise in learning in such learning environments? Which activities do you find most helpful? If you could, what changes would you make to online learning?

Check back later in the week read comments by others and respond to at least two others.
