Support from staff involved in teaching and administering DE papers and programmes
Across all Divisions and campuses, you will find colleagues with distance learning experience - much of it considerable!
Many would be happy to share some tips on successful practice and answer any queries that you may have – for instance, about workload, materials development, or how their distance learners are faring.
A quick way to find out which papers or programmes are being taught by distance in your Division is to go to the Distance Learning website and click on information for prospective students. Under Programmes and Papers you will find lists of all the subject areas and qualifications offered in distance mode.
If you would like to make contact with a colleague in a particular programme but don’t know who is currently teaching or administering which papers, there are two easy ways to find this out:
- consult the programme’s coordinator or contact person - departmental contacts can be found here; or
- email the Distance Learning Office where a course-by-course database of distance learning academic and administrative staff is maintained (distance.learning@otago.ac.nz).
