“I think the course was very engaging and provided an insight into what it is like to
be an online learner. Experiencing the reverse role is valuable in
understanding the needs and requirements of distance learners. I feel the
course and especially the tutors have done an excellent job in summarising and
touching upon various tools available in order to make this type of learning
