Including management of transactional distance as a factor in e-learning design used to manage transactional distance by balancing dialogue, structure, and learner Because access to a face-to-face learning context tends to reduce transactional distance, and dialogue and structure are Consequently, the low transactional distance (−D−S) of the classroomenhanced context can accommodate limited e-learning design, irrespective of learner As in case 2, the medium transactional distance of the blended learning environment is characterised by an inverse relationship between dialogue and structure, and A preliminary analysis of the teaching context to identify the expected transactional distance provides a means of determining the levels of dialogue and structure ./cache/work_i6lxhvj3qzff7ltf3atttsnb6i.pdf ./txt/work_i6lxhvj3qzff7ltf3atttsnb6i.txt
