Issues and challenges for the distance independent environment

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1996, vol. 47, issue 11, 817-820

Abstract: Instructors are familiar with an infrastructure that supports both instructor and students occupying the same classroom, and with most instructional delivery taking place while they are all present. This same‐time/same‐place delivery system is currently the norm, and few instructors are familiar with other types of delivery. In this article, the author outlines changes in infrastructure that are frequently necessary when one breaks from the traditional same‐time/same‐place model. Not all of these are applicable to all implementations of distance independent education. The author hopes that this article will serve as a basic guideline to the issues that an instructor must tackle in moving from the same‐time/same‐place model to various forms of distance independent education. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
