I agree with George Siemens about global diversity, communication, and collaborative interaction. Distance Education can reach students regardless of physical location. There are many ways to communicate on-line and many people find online communication less intimidating. With the advances of communication, students have the ability to work in collaborative groups through a variety of mediums. The element I selected is communication. Technology now allows students to speak face to face with the use of Skype. There is further communication through Blogs and chat rooms. Students are able to work in collaborative groups and receive feedback. Technology and distance learning have certainly advanced from where it started as a one - dimensional medium. Technology is always changing and Distance Education will also continue to change.
