This essential guide provides practical help and encouragement for those who have not previously studied ‘at a distance’.

- Includes motivation, goal setting, time management and coping

- Refreshes basic study skills and helps with research projects

- Surveys latest e-learning developments

- Includes comments and advice from other distance learning students

Self-study activities are a key part of the guide, and introduce the crucial element of active learning that is typical of studying at a distance.

Studying at a Distance is suitable for undergraduates and postgraduates in all open and distance learning or e-learning courses. Ideal for students returning to study after a gap of some years or those new to distance learning.

This book is written by an author who clearly has immense experience and expertise in supporting distance learners. It cannot fail to be a most useful and comprehensive introduction to the challenges of distance education to such learners. It will also be a very helpful guide to people writing and managing distance courses.'
