I think distance education has come a long way. I think distance education can be problematic for some types of learners. Kinesthetic learners do not get much of a chance to use their learning style other than typing. I also agree with you that the instructor has a tremendous job of preparing lessons and his students for the classes. He or she has to make sure that everyone can understand what is assigned and that can be a difficult task at times.
I enjoy face to face interaction in my classes and since I do not have that in online classes, I try to speak to my professors at least once a semester by phone. This lets me have a little better connection to the class.
