Type of courses	Distance Learning Degree Distance learning is a flexible form of learning where a student can study from home, work, on the move or wherever else is convenient, and at times to suit themselves. Unlike the traditional classroom environments, an online distance learning course utilizes a Virtual Learning Environment. The Virtual Learning Environment offers the benefits of distance learning without the drawbacks, providing students with the flexibility to attend classes and study from anywhere: work, home or even on the move. The system is designed to track and manage the learning process in real-time and it provides students with immediate access to learning materials. However, the real innovation is that this learning platform has created an environment in which both students and tutors can actively take part in real-time conversations and students can listen to, and view, live lectures and seminars over the internet. Regular assessment of students’ work ensures their progress and engagement throughout the course.

About the Courses

Learning, via the internet, is a flexible and convenient method of learning, and is already transforming the world of Degree courses. It is hugely popular in the United States, where more than three million people are studying online. Online learning provides a cost-effective, high-quality and flexible way to study. The Kaplan Open Learning degree programme is so much more than distance learning with email!

At Kaplan Open Learning we offer tutor-led online degrees that closely replicate a traditional campus classroom except that you have far greater choice when deciding how, when and where you study. The tutor leads the class by delivering seminars, posting lessons and assignments, answering questions, marking assignments and interacting with students on a regular basis. However, unlike in a traditional classroom, the communication between you and your tutor occurs on online discussion boards, which are located on the platform. You submit questions or comments to the discussion board, and fellow students and the tutor submit their answers and comments to the initial posting.

You don’t need any technical knowledge to participate in online learning. A free of charge technical telephone support line is available to all students, which is staffed by Student Support Advisors Mondays through to Fridays. There is also the opportunity to have regular contact with your tutor by telephone as you progress through your course and to interact with other students on the programme through online forums.
