Reflection of unit 1

This unit taught me a lot of things I didn't know, like the differences between distance and open education. It was very important for me to learn that they're similar but not the same, open Education lacks of structure and it's more flexible for the students, which allows the to be more creative when handing in their projects. Distance Education focuses more on technology and instructional systems that deliver education to the students who are not physically there.
Hardly any communication is needed, but in both cases feedback is obviously required by the teacher.
I also learned some important differences between traditional education and distance education, as already mentioned distance education is focused more on technology. Traditional Education requires constant assitance to a certain classroom or place, having contact with teachers in classmates, while in distance education you may never have to see your classmates and teacher, also the way of delivery and the tools we use for interaction are the characteristics that also differentiate these two.
