Media selection
When choosing media for a distance education course, several questions should be considered:
  • Which media are likely to appeal to the learners?
  • Do the learning objectives suggest particular media?
  • Is the technology needed to carry these media available?
  • How should each of the preferred media be used, and how much should each be used (for example, for what share of the student's time)?
  • What would it cost designers, instructors, and learners-in money, time, and flexibility-to use these media?
  • Would less expensive media be sufficiently effective?
  • Do the chosen media offer variety of stimulus and activity?
  • How can the media be combined for maximum effect?
