Distance Education

Social media has sky rocketed in the past few years. From Facebook to Twitter, the opportunities to catch up with one another have greatly increased. Distance learning can only be successful with effective communication. If this area is lacking, then the student and the professor suffer. They must have a communication line that is open. So with all of the new resources of technology that are amongst us, the communication era is growing rapidly. Some of the most effective types of communication tools that can be used in distance learning are video presentations, blogs, wikis, and classroom forums. If effectively used, the students will become more involved in the learning process. Also they will be more motivated to learn and are more likely to be successful in the online classroom.
