Rethinking Learner Support in Distance Education by Roger Mills

Rethinking Learner Support in Distance Education by Roger Mills

Distance learning is becoming an increasingly popular way of studying, and most universities now provide courses using this method. This book considers the changing needs and demands of distance education students.

'The editors have skilfully selected and ordered the contributions.. to create a book that flows well and which makes a significant contribution to this important, but often overlooked, aspect of distance education ... The book tackles most, if not all, of the challenges facing distance education providers in the way that they support their students. This book will be particularly interesting to students on Masters or undergraduate programmes who may be specialising in this aspect of distance education. It should also be an essential read for distance course developers and deliverers.' - Escalate

'This book provides a very useful window on current debates - it's full of interesting examples and poses questions that lie at the heart of the future development of ODL.' - British Journal of Educational Technology

'Rethinking Learner Support is a timely book. Its confrontation with the very profound changes in education systems is unique. In sum, this volume makes a significant contribution to distance education practice'. - The American Journal of DIstance Education
