Distributed Learning: The ChallengeDistributed Learning: The Challenge
The Challenge
• As a result, rural students may be denied important educational choices enjoyed by students in urban centres.
• Classroom-based education does not provide, in itself, sufficient flexibility to meet the learning needs of all BC students.
• Schools in rural communities may have great difficulty offering a range of courses.
