> Speaker:  Jo-Ann Driscoll, Senior Education Specialist, Centra Software,
> Inc.
>
> Topic summary:
> What is distance learning and how will it affect you?  What skills are
> required in this environment?  Do participants learn as well as in the
> traditional environment?  How can you design electronic documentation to
> fit the distance learning model?
>
> We'll look at the answers to these questions as we discuss instructional
> design techniques aimed at the participant who is not sitting in the same
> room as you are.  We'll compare this new environment with the more
> traditional one and see how we can capitalize on the similarities and
> bring the participant into the virtual classroom.
