Linking Communities and Campuses Through Distance Learning

Abstract

The former speaker of the U.S. House, Thomas P. O'Neil, remarked “all politics is local”. We would elaborate upon these wise words by adding “all innovative teaching is local”. As instructors who use interactive distance learning, we stress that successful teaching results when links are established between campuses and local communmities. These partnerships, assisted by modern technology, create advantages for all individuals who participate in projects such as the ones discussed in this article.
