Renee, Thanks for the response and explinations! You are correct that frequenly people refer distributed learning as distance learning. IN fact, it is not necessary. Ditributed leanring can be delivered in FTF instructions as well. I think it is more important that we need to understand distance learning embrace distributed learning becaused of effective technology has capacity to facilitate distributed leanring instructions. With effective distributed learning instructions and technology, students are physicially separated by distance may feel closer to the course, the instructor, and the classmates.

They have reservations on using it because they feel it could go out of control because the real world and auentic activitites frequenly are unpredictable.

Team 1 4: Powerful argument that was somewhat well articulated but could have been a bit more organized. Feedback: This is a review of the paper our own group created. Due to the "pieced together" format in which it was created, I still feel that it lacks a direct powerful argument which conveys an overriding message to the reader. However, the paper does cover the essential elements and addresses the required questions in each of the sections. It is well organized in an APA formatted style with appropriate headers which guide the reader throughout the text. The paper also provides several additional referenced sources to strengthen the arguments throughout. I think the paper is well organized. We probably could have focused more on a powerful argument for online learning.
