In evolving distance education Michael Simonson believes that sound instructional design lies heavily with creating a variety of learning experiences using appropriate technology which includes having the instructor involved with the structure and design. Thus making equivalent learning experiences for all learners.
While Moller, Huett, Foshey and Coleman all agree in an evolution of sound I.D. , they speak and give emphasis t0 the quality of the education by providing training to the instructor as well as providing them with a support system.
Simonson is creating a whole new process while the others are looking at each part of the process and discussing how to improve upon them. While the end result will be to evolve the field this is their only comparison.
I agree with Michael Simonson, I believe that in order for something to evolve it needs a fresh new approach and this is exactly what Simonson is referring to in his Equivalency Theory. Trying to improve on things that don't work usually lead to other issues in the process.
