All Aboard the Runaway Technology Train: Adjust the Engine Speed or Die

ABSTRACT

Quality distance education cannot be accomplished without a critical discussion of the tools, which make it possible. This article is a case study of a course in which interactive condensed video technology was used to join two classrooms with the use of feminist and other participatory pedagogues. It includes suggestions on how to use the technology to promote interaction and a discussion of the tradeoffs of using distance learning technology.
