How has the new interactive distance education system facilitated by satellite technology been utilised and incorporated by teachers and learners? Has it changed the ways teachers deliver education to remote students? What have been the implications for the curriculum delivered via distance education? How has it affected the ways learners interact and build relationships with their peers? These questions are the focus of this paper and accompanying presentation, and form part of the broader focus of the Australian Research Council Linkage (ARCL) project on Interactive Distance Learning (IDL), "Opening Our Eyes". The authors are part of the project research team which has been conducting fieldwork by observations and analyses of real-time lessons and interviews with teachers, parents, home tutors and students. In this paper, we focus on teacher practice, providing specific examples from the field to illustrate the many and varied ways in which the technology is being used. The intention is not to provide conclusive assessments but, hopefully, to provide the basis for collegial sharing and constructive discussion.
