Abstract

The concepts of mindlessness and mindfulness have important implications for distance education, particularly for instructors who are new to teaching at a distance. This article begins with examples of mindlessness and mindfulness in everyday life, and it proceeds to describe the negative effects of mindlessness in both traditional and distance education. Mindfulness in distance education is then described in terms of a dual challenge for teachers: how to teach at a distance and how to teach teachers to teach at a distance.
