DISTANCE LEARNING
More and more people are both working and studying from home. The idea of distance learning is not new; in fact it
can be dated back to 1728, when a teacher of the new method of Short Hand was seeking students for lessons to be
sent weekly. Modern distance education has been practised at least since Isaac Pitman taught shorthand in Great
Britain via correspondence in the 1840s. The development of the postal service in the 19th century led to the growth
of commercial correspondence colleges with nation-wide reach.
The style of distance learning hasn’t really changed for many years with the learners being required to undertake
study of their subject remotely, and ongoing correspondence being carried out through regular mail or via email and
the internet.
The learning style preferred by most people involves visual learning. Unlike most distance learning packages we offer
students the opportunity to not only read about their subject but also watch a teacher/trainer explain in detail. They
can also be shown examples and demonstrations by way of filmed clips.
3R EDUCATION - An example of a project with
which we have been involved relates to children’s
education. 3R Education required a method of
empowering parents to help their children with their
maths at home.
The solution we provided involved working with a
numeracy expert who wrote and scripted maths
lessons as currently being taught in school following
the National Numeracy Strategy.
These lessons were then filmed (see example clip
above) and to support each lesson worksheets were
created to check the understanding. Alongside all of
this there were additional DVD’s and support material
to help the families gain maximum benefit.
