Module 5 Dynamic Technology

As I created my concept map on technology and media used in distance education, I realized that I am more comfortable on the static end of the continuum.  However, I do know I will need to move towards the technology on the dynamic end of continuum.  The dynamic end allows learners to interact with the content (Moller, 2008).  The tools on this end of the continuum help involve “learners on a much deeper cognitive level” (2008, p. 1).  To create a better distance educational experience, I know I will need to use these tools on the dynamic end so learners are exposed to activities that would allow them to interact with the content.
