User preferences in open and distance language learning: what are the options for multimedia?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 December 2008
Extract
The Open University, having just completed its first 25 years, finds itself at an electronic crossroads. In one direction the electronic superhighway and satellite communication stretch forth into the stratosphere of future time. In another, straight ahead, is the well-trodden path of mixed-media open learning, tried, tested and refined over many years. To what extent is it possible to surf on the first with route maps from the second? Are learners at home willing or well-enough equipped to consider scaling new horizons via CD-ROMs, or on-line learning technologies in place of print, audio-cassette and video? What new methodology, if any, needs to be developed to assist this transition?
