Here's a really cool site that I've just discovered. Called the Guide to Distance Learning , the site has been created by the Regis University School of Professional Studies, and is built entirely in Flash with full audio.

�I took some time to work through a numbe of the sections of the tutorial and found it both informative and engaging. A really good example of how things can be designd for the web and for distance learning.

If I have a problem at all, it's the fact that because it's built in Flash, there's no way to cut and paste any of the information that you come across as you are working through the tutorial - consequently, you'd be pretty dependent on having a pad and a pencil at the ready to make sure you could record the many important pieces of information that are shared.
