What are the enablers, barriers and tips of studying online from a distance. How have I applied these skills into my work life.

1. Studying Online Long Distance
Enablers, barriers and tips.
Wendy Taleo - MAODE Alumni

2. Enablers
Lucky I have OU
tutors I can contact
about my studies.
I think I’ll contact
another student in a
nearby timezone to
discuss.

3. Barriers
Can you explain that
cultural reference to
me?
I missed the tutorial
because of the
timezone difference!
Can I modify the context
for my country?

4. Tips
Why am I
studying this
again?
‘Distance is a positive
principle, not a deficit.’
From the Manifesto for Teaching Online
I’ve talked to my mentor
and the context is much
clearer.
The informal catch-up
with other students made
me feel motivated again!

5. How I’ve applied these skills…
I have years of
experience in working
remotely from my team
and manager.
I know my best
communication methods!
👍😉👍
I use the power of debrief
time when feeling
stressed.
