Learning strategies included: (1) notes taking (2) reading computer screen content (3) team discussions (4) oral questions (5) sending e-mail. There were three types of learning pattern, including: skimming, jumping and systematic.3. Due to the lack of face-to-face interaction and other reasons, the frequency of learner- instructor interaction was low and most of learner-content interaction was one-way.4. The role of instructor in distance education proved to be important. Well-designed content and all forms of interaction were substantial.5. Although learners and instructors agreed that distance education has some advantages which traditional education didn*t have, it still has some problems which need to be solved.
