Hello,
I want to echo what several have said, wow! When Jackie asked me to join her 
in this activity, I thought it would generate a rich discussion, but what we 
have had the first three days is way beyond what I expected. I want to thank 
our guests and all participants of this list for their participation in this 
discussion.

We will be looking at some of the technology related issues in distance 
education, especially as they relate to the topics discussed so far.  Yet it 
is important to (continue) addressing the non-technology angle.  What other 
non-technology related issues need to be considered? What issues did you 
encounter in the planning or development of the distance education activity?

Examples might be related to accountability, accreditation and standards, 
teaching styles, or what pedagogical concerns were identified and addressed. 
How did your audience respond?

How did the non-technology related issues help define the choice of platform or technology you chose
to use? What features of the technology became important? Did you or would
you revisit your choice based on what you have learned?

And finally, to participants in distance education activates, how well did the chosen platform
address your "non-technology" needs. What suggestions or requests would you have for the
instructor/facilitator to enhance your learning experience.
