ABOUT BOOK

This study compares continual assessment data, intake numbers, retention numbers and final examination grades of a mixed cohort of face‚Äêto‚Äêface and distance learners against similar data from previous years where e‚Äêlearning materials were not used in order to test whether e‚Äêlearning materials can support the same quality and quantity of teaching and learning for both face‚Äêto‚Äêface and distance learners. The results for this cohort of learners demonstrate that: (i) distance e‚Äêlearners score as well and sometimes better than face‚Äêto‚Äêface learners; (ii) face‚Äêto‚Äêface student numbers have increased; (iii) overall, student retention and student attendance have been maintained; (iv) final examination results have been maintained or in some cases improved; (v) lecturer workload was high, but not unmanageable, and it is clear how manageability can be improved
