"Many distance learning instructors say that, with care, the quality of contact they have with the learners goes beyond what they experience in a traditional face-to-face environment. Part of our task here will be to figure out how to prepare both the environment to support positive interaction and the students themselves, so that they can take maximum advantage of it."
