These courses are beginning to replace or supplement traditional classroominstruction with convenient, self-paced distance education, and reach a larger student body acrossU.S. Courses offered through satellite broadcasts are not very much different from classroominstruction, and therefore, require instructors to make minor changes in their course design to
