It's not until after that first experience that an instructor becomes aware of the different requirements of a mediated learning environment. On the pages that follow is the collective wisdom of faculty who have taught on television over the past several years. Many thanks are due the dozens of faculty from virtually every discipline who contributed their insights. They pay the same tuition as the students in front of you.

Not only is there a physical distance between you and the distant students, there is a psychological distance as well. It's a whole different learning experience being taught by an image on a TV screen.
