Coping as a distance learner - Zoraini Wati Abas, eMedia
Distance learning has grown significantly, especially with the advent of the Internet. Browse through the Net or the newspapers and you are bound to see advertisements on distance learning programmes. What is so appealing about distance learning? There are a few factors. Firstly, it is the flexibility in terms of time and place. Secondly, the ability for one to pace his own learning and thirdly, the convenience distance learning offers in terms of following the learning activities. Picture this. Attending tutorials once a fortnight. Being able to meet the tutors online in between the face-to-face sessions. Reading the specially-designed learning modules at your own pace. Accessing the digital collection comprising thousands of books and journal articles online. Meeting classmates online. Discussing with tutors and classmates online.
