摘要:This paper discusses the range of computer mediated support provided to students on a third-level Computing course studied at a distance. An attempt has been made to support all tutorial activities electronically, including the submission and marking of assignments, tutorials, self-help and web support, with some success. The paper reports on experiences in the first year of presentation to over 2300 students and discusses the successful components and the changes that have been made following feedback from students and their tutors.
