Chih-Hsiung Tu on 10 Nov 09I will ask each group several common questions and specific question on your group treatise paper. These questions can be responded by any of your group members as an individual opinion or as group response. It is your group decision. Please list five most critical elements of distributed learning system in distance learning.

Most of people probably would agree that all instructions should have integrated online technology. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Please at least provide three reasons with good literatures to support your arguments.

Technology has become an increasingly vital tool in our growing society. The use of PowerPoint presentations upon lecturing promotes student interaction and improves student engagement with whatever the subject may be. The option to download pictures/graphics upon organizing my PowerPoint presentations has been a great instructional tool for my students. Teaching dental hygiene students the importance of patient education and providing the tools to enhance and perfect their skills is critical as an educator. Dental education has improved dramatically over the past 20 years. Technology has played a huge role in facilitating communication and collaboration among students. We now have web-based and software-based programs that are available to facilitate learning in 3D animation and HD footage for dental treatment educational purposes. MediaMed is a web-based tool that I make great use of in the classroom to educate my students on the various dental procedures. MediaMed also serves as an instructional component that not only provides patient education on the necessary treatment needed, but also increases patient treatment acceptance, which then improves the overall oral health of the individual. Eaton, Reynolds and Cox (2008), believe that the use of CD-ROM's have made a major contribution to the development of teaching practice and the greater availability of educational material for students. Teaching dental anatomy in the dental hygiene program utilizing ADAM interactive CD-ROM, has validated the necessary interaction between student and teacher upon lecturing. Today's computer has replaced all means of traditional communication significantly. Many distant learning tools claim to be interactive, but few can offer two-way communication. Email is the most popular means of communication medium now-a-days. Therefore, it may be used as an educational tool for learning (Rahman, Anwar, & Numan, 2008, p. 180). To imagine how one can function and be productive as edu

In distributed learning assessment (collaborative learning), it is very difficult to know who is doing the course work. How do we know the actual students are doing the course work and how can we assess?

Having Elluminate chat sessions with participating instructors reduces the chances of students having others do their course work. Chat session personalizes each session. Besides, most online students are mature, working, adults. I presume they want to learn and participate since their own money is invested in their education. Mandatory peer and self evalutions along with personal phone conversations or chats at least once in the semester with instructors can facilitate assessment.

Great job on your treatise. I think that (like others have mentioned) it might have flowed a little better with an introductory paragraph, as well as some additional references. 5 points.

Thank you for the abstract. It was a great summary that identified the purpose of the paper. This was also well organized, and you followed the instructor's suggestions of including the group discussions; that was something that we found difficult to do. Finally, I appreciate the recommendations at the end. It helped give the writing a purpose.

4- This treatise paper is certainly well put together. I did have minor hesitation is allotting full points. I found the paper to be very informative and adequately descriptive of the material. However, I found that quantity of references was not as I would've expected. I also found that the paper could've used a final or closing paragraph to sum-up the covered content. I was certainly in agreement with the examples and explanations provided. In my opinion, this team put forth great efforts in communicating the prescribed content and material. I fully agree with the argument and statement that Online Learning brings forth learning opportunities with "no limits". A well-written work by Team 6.
