Innovations in Distance Education

Because of my interest in LibX I thought I would try the library web page of Virginia Tech, the home institution of the LibX project. I was surprised that I didn't find more interactivity than I found, but it is more geared to distance education than many other library web pages. They have a search box for the online catalog and a search for databases on each of the pages of the library web page.

I realize that we are looking at innovations in distance education, and this is directed more at the tools, but these tools are often the product of such innovation. I think that it is actually cyclical. The innovations drives the production of the tools, which drives further innovation.
