He contends that an effective approach requires a learner-centred focus, taking into account the practitioners' views of learner support in open and distance learning. He concentrates on a particular 6-week period when the students were discussing 'learner support in open and distance education', partly because of the importance of learner support in a computer-mediated environment, but more importantly because he believes that this study will yield a richer understanding of what learner support means in a computer-mediated environment. Colleges and universities are well placed to respond to these aspirations by embracing e-learning technologies, because most governments want to raise the education level and skills of their population. E-learning has the potential to transform education at every level; it can make a high-quality educational experience available and extend access to those whose location and economic and personal circumstances have prevented them from pursuing educational goals in the past. These learn¬ers also represent a wider student market for universities and other educational institutions. The common objectives of these institutions are raising quality and standards, meeting diverse needs, widening participation, building skills for employ¬ability, and motivating learners to develop new skills for the 21st century. This book is important for all in education seeking to harnass communication technology to their advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teneo Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46885880070295,"sku":"9781934844083","price":2315.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781934844083.webp?v=1770249404","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/computer-mediated-environment-and-learner-support-9781934844083","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
