Abstract

Educators are currently very enthusiastic about the potential of online education. But, is this really achievable? In distance education literature and meetings the current ‘hot topic’ is technology supported learning. This conjures up visions of seamless educational practice that enables learners to progress unaided through a programme of instruction supported only by the benefits of access to the supposed ubiquitous information and communication technologies.
