Opis

This text reviews the lessons to be learned from trying to integrate distance learning strategies with established, face-to-face teaching methods. It draws on real, practical examples from education, commerce and industry. The book aims to help readers think about support and delivery of learning and addresses the following questions: is there evidence that distance learning can enrich and enhance the cost-effectiveness of more traditional programmes of teaching and training?; what options do companies and educational organizations have in fostering the development and implementation of such approaches?; and what are the likely pitfalls and how can they best be avoided?
