Distance Education Issues given our Style of Education Choice

Choosing the style of education is extremely important at this stage. Before we embark on defining our effectiveness model, we have to know exactly what do we want to measure. Different styles will have different requirements and expectations, therefore, the data that will define our analysis can be completely different. In our case, we will have to look at specific short-duration job-training issues.

post-training support
Email, bulletin boards can improve the level of post-training support, can this be a crucial factor on its success ?
training resources
a training course can sometimes be seen as perk by members of staff, when such a perk becomes publicly available, it ceases to be a perk, what can the consequences be ?
motivation
How would motivation be affected ?
media
influence of media upon the instructional process
new roles
New roles might be created, and how will this be managed ? Perhaps the tutor might not be the most appropriate person to prepare the material ?
learner support
Will the distance learning environment allow for support while the learning process is happening ?
etc.
