To introduce distance education via the Internet (specifically, using the World Wide Web) to classroom teachers who want to create and lead such experiences for students at the elementary, secondary or post-secondary levels.
To present information and point to experiences that will prepare you to develop such resources yourself.
To alert you to issues that can come up when you implement your project, and introduce you to strategies and patterns of practice you can use when these issues arise.
If you follow our sequence and perform the activities, you'll end up with the beginnings of a working design document for your own distance learning resource project. Along the way, you'll get useful experience as an online distance learner that will also inform your work.
