Podcast: Role of Teacher in Distance Education

Role of the teacher in determining the effectiveness

Distance education technologies are expanding at an extremely rapid rate. Due to high stakes testing and the need for interventions in order to close educational gaps, instructional technology is viewed by many as an increasingly important tool in assisting both the motivated and struggling learners. Teachers play an important role in the implementation of instructional technology but it also requires more work. Since many people must collaborate to produce and disseminate quality distance educational programming, the need to plan and coordinate staff is essential.

Currently, few public school teachers have had sufficient training or experience to enable them to either be effective distance learning teachers or to use technology successfully in their classrooms. Proper training would help distance learning teachers to change their methods and give more attention to advanced preperation, student interaction, student activities for independent study and follow up activities to assess learning.

"Repetition is the reality and the seriousness of life."
