The first guide for students tackling distance study!
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.
'More and more people are likely to experience distance learning in the future either by correspondence or e-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.'
