Asynchronous distance education: Teaching using Case Based Reasoning - Avgoustos. A. TSINAKOS, Turkish Online Journal of DE
Introduction: At first glance, synchronous distance education appears as one of the most appealing studying methods. Asynchronous modes of distance education combine flexible access of teaching material, self-study techniques, and peer-to-peer collaboration. However, literature also reveals a number of pedagogical drawbacks in using such a system. The indistinct monitoring of student performance/ progress, the inability to record individual learning needs, and the lack of student modeling processes (Wulf, 1996; Pernici and Casati, 1997; Relan and Gillani, 1997; Hunt 1999; Pritichard, 1998; Khan, 1997; Harasim, 1990; Hall, 1997b) are just some of the most commonly reported drawbacks.
