Technology reduces the time and increases the space across which learning can take place.
Chris Jones C. Jones has said something important on this topic and I agree with him. I am currently offering my first on-line course and am finding everything I have said to be true. The course basically is like an old fashioned correspondence course, where students from the proverbial middle of nowhere send away for a learning packet of text materials that they complete on a more or less restrictive schedule. Not that the potential for better learning experiences does not exist on the I-net. Stoll's pessimistic view of on-line educational quality is contrasted with a H.S. English teacher from New Jersey, who is using a complex multimedia version of Homer's Odyssey in his classroom.
