Distance learning is now more prevalent in the developing world
than ever before. This book reconsiders the suitability and success
of established modes of distance learning for current contexts in
the developing world. It examines what adaptations are necessary to
suit shifting needs including:
- the move from elite to mass higher education
- increased emphasis on knowledge base economies
- greater demand for lifelong learning and professional
development
- the effects of technical and societal changes
- demand for post-secondary education.
Drawing upon research into students' conceptions of, and
approaches to learning, this critical analysis of the state of open
and flexible learning examines the characteristics, needs and
learning approaches of students, considering whether or not current
provision is successful, what changes are necessary, and,
crucially, how student retention can be improved.
