Making distance learning fun - Hendon Times
Learning something new is always challenging, and the thought of sitting in a classroom full of people can be intimidating, especially if you are returning to learning after a long break. But there are other options available, and distance learning can be a flexible and easy way to get yourself back into education from the comfort of your own home. If your perception of distance leaning involves tedious TV lectures shown in the middle of the night then you're in for a nice surprise. Organisations such as the Open University still broadcast late-night TV programmes but they are now entertaining as well as informative. Many organisations, including Learn Direct, also offer online study which gives access to student forums and huge quantities of study information which weren't previously possible with purely book-based courses.
