Distance learning should be more economical than classroom based learning. (You should reach more people with less funding) 2. You don't need a teacher for distance learning. 3. Distance learning works for all learners. What are some realistic expectations regarding the use of video or computer-based learning with adult basic education and ESL students? Is it worth trying? Why or why not? Fran Keenan PBS Adult Learning Service fkeenan@pbs.org __________________________________________________________________ PBS Program Clubs-like book clubs, but for TV.
