From a distance: Learning from afar with the help of technology | Higher Education Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it
Tertiary education providers have been using technology for years, but it is now at a stage where it is meeting the needs of a wide range of students.
Students no longer have to attend classes or study on campus; they can now study while living overseas, raising families and working full-time.
