Short editorial written by Michael G. Moore, posted today by Mauri Collins on DEOS-L, on the nature of theory ("the summary and synthesis of what is known about a field") and the relative nature of transactional distance ("there are many different degrees of transactional distance"). Moore writes, "What determines the success of distance teaching is the extent to which the institution and the individual instructor are able to provide the appropriate opportunity for, and quality of, dialogue between teacher and learner, as well as appropriately structured learning materials."
