The article written by Allan Tait, “Planning student Support for Open and Distance Leaning”talks about various factors to design long distance learning. Here, Alan discussed several important factors, a designer should take into account if she would like to create an effective distance learning class. These factors are student characteristics, course or program demands, geography, technology, scale and management systems (Allan, 2000).
The reason why I choose long distance learning is because through long distance learning space and time is not barrier anymore. It is really amazed me. Therefore, I wish by understanding all those factors, many Indonesian students can study in “abroad” without leaving their family or countries behind.

Thank you for the link to this article! This week I hope to talk to you and the others in our course about the question whether distance learning is a pedagogical approach or a delivery method.. so be prepared! :-)
