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?
