distance learning is at an all time high especially with the popularity of the WorldWide Web, Internet, and Intranets. This interest has led many authors to report in the literatureon best practices, technology used, personnel roles, company policies, design methods, andteaching methods. In distance learning, it is not enough to do one course as an experiment. Aone-time experience is costly and time-intensive, but when a course is offered for the third orfourth time, initial time and cost investments become worthwhile. It should be realized thatwhether the course is distance-learning or otherwise, it takes time to prepare it, it takes time todeliver it, and there are only so many students that a faculty member can handle reasonably anddo a good

Some seem to believe their measurementsare much more accurate than they actually are. In many cases, university lab equipment may beold, outdated, and out of calibration. Experiments conducted in industry may be done to generateperformance data, demonstrate the feasibility of a new technology, determine operating limits, ordemonstrate compliance with permits and standards. In undergraduate laboratories, none of thoseare normally the objective which is usually to demonstrate a phenomenon or concept. Therefore,high accuracy is not normally an

As the students often put it “how can teachers expect us to be interested in a topic if they don’t seem interested in it” 2. Relevance: The students see course material as relevant, applicable, and important. They can relate it to their experiences and career goals. Teachers often make this relevance explicit to students through explanation and examples. 3. Organization: Teachers of these classes do not “wing it”. Their classes are organized, and their
