Description

Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii features Dr. Dwight Miller, Associate Director of the Center for Academic Excellence at Brigham Young University–Hawai‘i, who discusses the rapidly evolving field of distance learning and its implications for higher education. Drawing on his background as an educator, Vietnam veteran, photographer, and specialist in post‑secondary education and human resource development, Miller explains his recent work in Provo developing Internet‑based courses designed for multi‑campus use across the BYU system. Using photography instruction as a case study, he explores the challenges of teaching visually and subjectively driven disciplines through online platforms, emphasizing the importance of instructor–student interaction, timely feedback, and community‑based learning models. The conversation examines broader trends in non‑traditional education, accreditation standards, technological change, and the shifting role of faculty from lecturers to facilitators, offering insight into how emerging technologies can expand access to quality education while preserving academic rigor.
