some feedback on the blended learning mode for online courses. Some people find that they can contribute to the award that they are studying for by taking courses online before they are ready to study full-time. This gives them a chance to "taste" the program that they wish to study, and if it is really not what they want or they find it doesn't suit their needs, then they have chance to change.
For some people this is a really good opportunity to make full-time study less intense, and if they have to earn during their study time, it makes life less pressured.
There is little doubt that there will be a host of different study modes offered as technology allows communications of all kinds to be immediate and not related to distance. We will see the use of video conferencing, web casting, and even the use of mobile telephones and hand held devices playing a larger part in education of all kinds.
