Abstract
This paper looks at various ways that distance education classes can be designed to provide a structure that will make them more interactive and closely simulating the face-to-face classroom experience. Distance learning requires three things not found in traditional classrooms: learner-centered design, learner-centered delivery skills and direct learner participation. The author examines various ways that technology can be used effectively to enhance distance class interactions for meaningful learning.
