Further Evidence

Some comments from the course tutor:

'It allows time and flexibility of access to the course for both students and staff. One of the members of staff routinely travels between two cities. Teaching online allows him to fit teaching into his busy schedule.'

'It allows improved student performance, as it recruits students with very high levels of academic ability, as well as providing the flexibility for students to fit course work around their own busy lives.'

'MALSO has been a breakthrough in departmental policy, as there are only two MAs in the University of Hull that are taught entirely online.'
