Third Generation Distance Learning

Abstract

Many of the disadvantages of much distance learning provision stems from the difficulties of interaction between learner and tutor, learner and educational provider, and amongst learners themselves. Information technology can assist in breaking down barriers to interaction. The author describes the development of computer‐mediated communications for management courses, drawing lessons from recent experience.
