Abstract

The remoteness of the northern Pacific region presents significant challenges to providing high-quality, interactive, distance education. These geographic, economic, cultural, linguistic, professional, and technological challenges require creativity and flexibility in the design of courses and in instructional methods. This article explores the experience of a group of educators in providing distance learning opportunities throughout this region during the past six years.
