Thread:Feedback on ideas supporting entry level students (1)

Garry I think you have raised some very important issues for entry level students. I have a question regarding the following solution "Training - Before embarking in an online program, students could be required to attend one or more f2f sessions where they could receive training to bring them up to a level that is sufficient for them to partake successfully in online classes."

Do you have a backup plan for people who are unable to attend the f2f for various reasons: work and home commitments, distance from the campus etc? I agree is is optimal if they attend an introductory session but you do not want to disadvantage those people who cannot - also I have found from experience and to my dismay that they will probably forget most things you showed them in class - so how will you help them review what they need to do and get support when going online from home or work? --bron 23:10, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
