  4. Outcomes and Achievements • There are a variety of well-documented challenges faced by part time learners. Online provision has fostered: • enhanced recruitment and retention • improved levels of student achievement • positive changes in teaching behaviours

  5. Feedback from the External ExaminerJuly 2012 …the Maritime History modules…are particularly worthy of praise. Their feedback is full, specific, helpful and constructive. I take it this is perhaps because it is a distance taught module, but it would be good to see this much quality feedback for other modules whenever possible and when resources allow.

  6. Guiding Principles ‘Distance learning is reputedly characterised by clunky online interfaces, isolation and generally conspiring to make students – and staff – miss out on so many of the things that make university life so attractive’. Kit Jones, CAT • building virtual communities (especially a sense of belonging) • recognising that this provision is not “the same but online” • offering flexibility in where, when (and how) learning takes place

  7. The 24-7 Seminar ‘Distance learning doesn't create distances between people, it bridges the distances that already exist and connects diverse people’. Kit Jones, CAT

  8. Moving Forward • Developments in learning and teaching • changes in the delivery of course material • more innovative modes of learning and assessment (e.g. gaming) • Improvements in student choice • collaborative programming • enhancing the flexibility of provision • open access (see Open Access Week @ http://www.openaccessweek.org/)
