Site Counselors make distance learning courses available to students through promotion and registration. These Site Coordinators know the capabilities of their sites and Utah Education Network systems. They act as liaison with the Network and Coordinators of other sites. The Site Facilitator relays information between the instructor and the students. Finally, distance teaching increases preparation time.
Adaptation is necessary to fit content, method, and style to the medium.
Familiarity with the technology is necessary. Distance teaching requires communication among team members, and therefore lots of detailed planning. Site Coordinators and Facilitators must be involved at every step of the way. In fact, teachers, facilitators, and coordinators must all participate in technical training to enhance their team communication and coordination.
