Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your blog post, Percy! I enjoyed reading it. The graphics were informative and engaging, and I found the post well-organized and easy to read.
Your observations about the accessibility benefits of Distributed Learning were insightful. I think your point about remote and underserved areas is true because cities often have better services since many people can pool their money to build school structures and acquire resources. Yet, those who live in rural and remote areas also should have equal access to education. Likewise, I agree that people may find it hard to enroll in schools due to geographical distance, work commitments, or lack of funding. The access afforded through Distributed Education and Open Learning breaks down those geographic and financial barriers.
As you pointed out, these alternative types of learning may still be difficult if people struggle to access reliable Internet or lack technological skills. In your final paragraph, you talk about accommodating more needs by blending face-to-face with online modalities. I wonder how geographic and financial barriers would affect people who need to access online content and also participate in in-person sessions. I like your idea of providing digital resources (such as devices?) to ensure everyone can access online education.
