QUESTION

In a distributed learning environment, faculty members should:

a. take their face-to-face lectures and turn them into a podcast.
b. teach the course the same way as the face-to-face course, as all sections of the course need to be the same.
c. use the same activities as the on-campus courses; there is no need to adjust them.
d. develop learning activities that engage the learner with relevant real-world activities.

ANSWER:

ANS: D
In distributive education the instructor needs to empower the learners to take charge of their learning, to be engaged, and to have a comprehensive learning experience. Podcasts of lectures do not engage the learner, and using the same learning activities does not take advantage of the tools available to engage and empower the learner.
