This week, in addition to learning about how to create a web presence, we also learned about distance education. Distance education is something that seems relatively new, but it has been going on for many years. Distance education can take place in a variety of different ways. Today, most of the larger universities offer online courses which can be supplemented by regular classes. Some universities are completely online. Distance education is something that is gradually changing education in a very big way.
Distance education is something that I have to be very mindful of considering the fact that I am going to be a teacher. By the time I graduate with my masters I am sure the distance education will be something that is even more popular and I will need to know the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating it into my classroom. I believe that distance education is something that can be very useful in the years to come.

The link above is to the online website at the University of Florida. Every semester I have had atleast one online class and this is the website that you have to go to in order to get to your online classes. The reason that I chose this link is because it is a perfect example of what distance education looks like to many college students. Right now, large universities have many different online courses that a student could take. This shows how UF goes about having online courses.
