Shiyao Zhang's HW(03/29/12)

Topic: The problems of distance learning which students concern about.
Main point sentence: Although distance learning is a new studying method, it still has some problems including the quality of instruction, hidden costs, misuse of technology, and attitudes of instructors.

Ideas:
Having heard from students who have taken online courses before, the quality of instruction is one problem. Some instructors do not use technology to promote their courses well.

Then, some courses require to use compressed video, that cost a lot of money.

What's more, misuse of technology leads to ineffectiveness of distance education because lack of training in using software causes a lot of troubles both to students and professors.

Lastly, some instructors do not use their skills to produce a effective learning environment by using many devices.
