Many institutions have overlooked, or are not aware of, the dimensions of this new classroom. The asynchronous environment raises a number of concerns for institutions, the most essential aspect being the support of the distant student. This support raises new challenges in meeting the fundamental requirement of any higher education institution- providing skills to students so that they can process information, address its relevan...
