Consider the 10-minute lecture that you developed in the previous module. How would you revise this if delivering the content via distance methods? How would you promote student interaction. Would the evaluation methods differ?
Distance learning or distance education and distributed learning is the process of delivery of instruction from one location to another, which means the teaching takes place in one location and the learning takes place in one location and the learning takes place at another location.

*Use pre-class study questions encourage critical thinking and informed participation.
*Require students to contact and interact among themselves via, electronic mail.
Integrate a variety of delivery systems for interaction and feedback, including one-on-one and conference calls, fax, email, video, and computer conferencing.
*If possible contact each student every week.
*Have students keep a journal of their thoughts and ideas regarding the course content as well as their individual progress and other concerns.
*Call on individual students to ensure that all participants have ample opportunity to interact.
