ABSTRACT
One of the early objections to distance education, that students would find the experience unpleasant, was rebutted with a number of meta-analyses summarizing many investigations. The focus on current efforts becomes an understanding how best to use the technological tools available. The need to use the flexibility afforded by reliance on technology creates opportunities to increase student satisfaction with learning by providing a plethora of alternatives. The result is a dynamic educational process that constantly evolves as various options become considered and evaluated.
