Module 3 - Higher Education and Distance Education



The reading I focused in this week is called Teaching and Learning at a Distance, Fifth Edition. The chapter discussed what distance education and the pros and cons of it.  There were two key things that stuck out to me.

1. A study was done to see if there was a significant difference between distance learning and traditional learning and it was found that there was no significant difference. I really like reading this. I earned my Bachelors all online and now the same with my Masters Degree. I am glad that the students they interviewed found no major significance. 

2. The quality of distance education.  I was relieved to see that the quality of learning in distance education was good. I often worried if others would think less of me or think online learning a not as good as traditional so I was glad to see evidence that others believe what I believe that I am getting just as good (maybe better) of an education.
