This past week we talk about theories and how it relates to distance education. One of the theories discuss is the relationship between teacher and learner. Collins and Berge who wrote their article in 1996 have a discussion about how instructors and students should monitor their time online. Some of these principles are true for today, especially in regards of responsibility of the students and the instructor doing more facilitating in the class. These methods are being discussed more and more as online education is evolving.
I do notice a different with teachers and how they are handling their classes. They are allowing the students to have more conversations while the instructor usually just put input to garner more conversation. It think that this process is working because I see very detail and intense conversations. So, Collins and Berge were definitely on the right track when they wrote their article.
