His sources is related to my research topic. As he showed, online courses have become a strategy to improve education system. For example, he illustrated that a university used the E4 ME course as a online course to know the feedback. After this course, the instructors would receive it as measure to support this kind of program.

Their sources are related to my research topic. Distance Learning was defined as a work with computer. Students need abilities to interact with others by using computers. They use the mediated way to study in the meantime. This kind of learning method is a kind of specific designs for computer-mediated interaction and it can bring out various responses immediately by this way.
