It’S IMPortant to Make a rIght ChoICe 4 страница
For some people whose job requires regular travel or irregular working hours, distance learning may be the only way they improve their qualifica- tions and seek promotion. In most cases, students have choice of when to study and how quickly they progress through the programme.
Academic support given to a distance learning student varies from pro- gramme to programme and from institution to institution, however, the fo- cus is on self-study. Students may receive basic academic guidance through specially written study guides. Many programmes provide an extensive range of materials including videos, computer disks and audio tapes. Some institutions have introduced programmes of study which can be delivered to a student’s home by internet.
Academic support is not the only support required. Without the sup- port of family, colleagues and friends, studying for a qualification as an ex- ternal student would be a great deal harder. John Chetcuti says “my wife’s support throughout all these years has been precious. Had it not been for her support when I was down in the dumps I probably would not have per- severed to the end”.
