Missing Supporting Information in Section
Educational technology (Editing)

One of the most significant issues encountered in the mainstream correspondence model (DEFINE THIS) of distance education is the transactional distance (DEFINE THIS), which results from the lack of appropriate communication between learner and teacher. This gap has been observed to become wider if there is no communication between the learner and teacher and has direct implications over the learning process and future endeavors in distance education. (HOW?)

Distance education providers began to introduce various strategies, techniques, and procedures to increase the amount of interaction between learners and teachers. These measures e.g. more frequent face-to-face tutorials, increased use of information and communication technologies including teleconferencing and the Internet, were designed to close the gap in transactional distance.[9]

Peer Review
I really liked the information you added to the Coronavirus section. The original article was lacking updated information, which was a great opportunity for the two of you to add to this. I also thought it was a great idea to add Moore's Theory of Transactional Distance!

I believe the ability to learn at their own pace information you added to Benefits could be placed after the firth sixth paragraph in that section that talks about enabling students we were unable to attend a traditional school setting due to a disability or illness and then also behavioral disorders. These parts are related as they present factors that prevent from being able to learn in a traditional classroom.

The other paragraph added to Benefits I believe the second sentence should be broken up into two parts. The first one explaining how the school is saving money and then the second one explaining how students are saving money. Are there any percentages on how much money is being saved?

Finally, the additions made to criticisms could be added in the content already written.

Overall, I think you both did a great job! This was fun to read about especially with the current situation we are living in.
