Module 1 Post
For your first blog for this module, reflect on the following:
 * After reading the three articles by Moller, Huett, Foshay and Coleman, and listening to the Simonson video programs, compare and contrast the reasons these authors believe there is a need to evolve distance education to the next generation. Do you agree with their positions? Why or why not?

**Elements of Distance Education Diffusion**
George Siemens discussed the growing acceptance of distance education in today’s corporate and educational spheres, including three possible elements of distance education that are creating more effective learning experiences and giving distance education an identity of its own distinct from F2F courses: (a) global diversity, (b) communication, and (c) collaborative interaction. Do you agree or disagree with his view? Select one of these three elements for your reflection this week and respond to the following in your blog:
 * How has this element evolved?
 * What online tools are available today to facilitate these interactions among learners?
