Adapting content to distance learning delivery systems

Traditionally the expert functions also as the transmitter of his knowledge by lecturing, writing and teaching. This function changes in distance learning environments. The development of content must be in the hands of the expert, the delivery of content demands a different expert.

The delivery system specialist represents the complimentary part of content development and combines the skills of pedagogy, technology and interpersonal communication. His/her function in a distance learning environment is to create a smooth navigation on the screen to assist the learner’s self-study projects, to establish multiple communication channels with the screen learners, and to oversee the reading and assignment schedules. Ongoing discussion between the two experts, the content developer and the delivery system specialist, is vital to the structure of a distance learning course and for achieving the anticipated learning goals.
