    Group 1's introduction provided a basis for the entire paper and guided the reader through what they should expect. Section 1 provided an in-depth definition of online learning as it has evolved through the years. This section also tied together the various delivery models (CMS, LMS, Web based) and provided an in-depth look at the characteristics of both online learners and instructors. Section 2 took the reader into a more in-depth look at online learning tools. Many examples of these tools and their uses were presented in the paper. The paper presented us with both strengths and weaknesses of the tools and even introduced us to a new tool (Epsilen) that is currently being tested. Appendix A, Course Management System Comparison, helped readers see the similarities and differences of each tool. The The final section, Section 3, introduced the reader to various pedagogical models and instructional strategies. It showed an evolution of models and theories. It demonstrated the progression of behaviorist theories of education to the constructivist theories that are a significant part of online distributed learning. Many examples of each model and instructional strategy were included. There was a wide variety of resources used to compile the paper. Group 1 showed a through understanding of the elements of distributed learning but the paper was a bit long.
