Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, mechanic and astronomer born in 1642 who made seminal contributions to classical physics and optics. He developed the laws of motion and universal gravitation, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton also invented calculus and made discoveries in optics. Despite his contributions, Newton had an unhappy childhood and solitary nature, and his lectures at Cambridge University were not widely attended during his lifetime.
Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath born in 1452 who made contributions in numerous fields including art, science, and invention. Some of his most notable inventions included conceptual designs for a tank, parachute, submarine, and scissors hundreds of years before they would be realized, as well as an early design for a bicycle and inflatable boats. He is renowned as one of the greatest geniuses of all time.
Michael Faraday was an English physicist and chemist born in 1791 who is primarily known for his discovery of electromagnetic induction. He made many other important discoveries including the chemical action of electric current, diamagnetism, the effect of magnetic fields on light, and the laws of electrolysis.

Galileo was born in Pisa, Italy in 1564 to a noble but impoverished family. From a young age, he was drawn to art and learning. He received his primary education at a nearby monastery and showed great aptitude for academics. Though his father wanted him to become a priest, Galileo had a passion for science and discovery. He went on to make important contributions in mechanics, invention, and astronomy through his development of improved telescopes and microscopic observation techniques. His astronomical observations of the moon, sun, and Jupiter's moons strengthened the heliocentric model of the solar system put forth by Copernicus.
Distance learning education has emerged as a solution to overcome barriers of physical location and time by using internet technologies to deliver course content to remotely located students. There are two main types of distance learning courses - synchronous which involve live online communication, and asynchronous which allow students to work independently at their own pace. To create a successful distance learning course, teachers must design an effective online course site, prepare course materials and activities, choose chat times for discussion, facilitate student interaction, and build a learning community through teaching, social, and cognitive presences.
