A Principled Approach to Facilitating Distance Education: The Internet, Higher Education and Higher Levels of Learning
نویسنده
چکیده
In an earlier study I investigated the essential principles that facilitate higher levels of learning in Internet-based distance learning university courses. In this study I explored how these teaching and learning principles could be applied in Internetbased distance learning environments. I used an open-ended questionnaire to determine how (or if) the teaching and learning principles identified in the earlier study could be applied. The outcomes of this study provide many suggestions for Internet-based distance activities that can support the facilitation of higher levels of learning.
