Teaching and Administering Distance Education Practices
Distance education is no longer the great evil. Many DE techniques and strategies are
used in more traditional learning environments. In fact, it
is often said that the distance between a lecturer and a
student is greater than the distance between teachers and
students in DE environments. This is difficult to pull off as a
teacher, and even more difficult from the administrative side.
There are competing forces at work. Still, we're all on the same
time, aren't we?"
Distance Learning: It's Not a Question of If but of How

“If one is going to go down this path then one must
devote the proper resources to creating a quality learning experience for those ‘on-line’
students. That means the University must support the
best teachers in their learning to teach well over the Web.”
Hybridity as an Ethical Choice

“If the Web appears to be pushing both students and
teachers simultaneously into a shared, public, published space, then we can say that
such a push rotates their relationship from a
traditionally vertical to a new horizontal axis.”

“The very best teachers are best equipped to take the new tools of the technological and information revolution and harness them for best possible use, developing models for good practice. The
more teachers become practiced users themselves, the more their
teaching will be transformed.”

“No longer will the same individual be responsible for teaching a particular group of students and responding to
their documents. Instead, the evaluation of student
documents will be shared by a number of individuals.”

“Make no mistake: the university is a business,
and distance ed is believed to be a fat cow out of
whose teats squirt cash.”
Profit and Pedagogy: Addressing theChallenges and Achieving Balance

“Corporations and educators are not on opposite sides of the court. We urge each other toward improvements we might not
have otherwise considered. The administration's infatuation with the bottom
line, and the corporate world's desire for market share, will achieve balance as
teachers continue to resist homogeneity and risk what seems like everything to
help learners understand, think, and write.”

“I’ll just admit it. I want to ride ponies. I want to rattle the chains. I dig the thrill of discussion and mind-play, the action and reaction of ideas bouncing off walls, and the bio-mass of brains in bodies that can make it all electric and make it all come apart and then pull together. I especially
want my students to learn how to make all that happen on their own, or in a bunch, or on the job, or in Acapulco, or wherever.”
