MDDE 601: Distributed learning

I have just finished submitting my first assignment for the Master of Distance Education 601: Introduction to Distance Education and Training course. I decided to do a critical review of a case study article that featured the implementation of distributed learning. I had a difficult time limiting it to five pages of text excluding a the title and reference pages. I am posting the references here for anyone interested in the topic and if I do well on the assignment I will post my paper as well. :>)
