eLearn Magazine: 10 Ways to Ensure Distance Learning Success January 1, 2010
Posted by thinkphd in : Study Tips , trackbackMy essay, “10 Ways to Ensure Distance Learning Success” was published December 17 by eLearn Magazine.
Here is the direct link to that article:

In this article, I review some of the basic principles for online learners. The idea for the essay was an adaptation of a slide that I use for every class including campus-based. The slide has the 10 items, which I reveal one at at time, from the last to the first (#10, #9, #8, etc.), in the same way that David Letterman does his Top Ten Lists. By bringing humor into the classroom, students seem to remember the slide and these points much easier. If you would like a copy of the slide, please contact me at thinkphd at yahoo dot com and I will send you one.
Just like David Letterman, a little drum roll please before reading #1: Read the syllabus and use it as a roadmap!

Distance learning is the wave of the future. I truly believe that people will soon be only earning their degree online and every school will have an online program that is as prominent as its campus program.
