DLAG: Why ask the tough questions?

Advanced policy development is a key component of a well-run distance learning initiative. The toughest distance learning policy questions often remain un-asked. At first, these issues may seem minor, yet they often become the major stumbling block to a successful distance learning model. Asking the really tough questions on distance learning policy can alleviate some potential policy pitfalls, and contribute to the quality, rigor and strength of distance learning instruction provided to our students.
