Toward an Effective Quality Assurance in Web-Based Learning: the Perspective of Distance Learning Students - Davey Yeung

Introduction: There can be no denying that there has been an “exponential expansion of distance education” course (Hawkridge, 1995). The advantages of such a form of course provision are considerable: in particular it allows students, especially mature students who are likely to have considerable personal and professional commitments, to study without the personal and financial expense involved in returning to university as a “traditional” student. In a very real sense it represents opportunities for continuing education that are, already, enabling notions of lifelong learning to advance beyond rhetoric and into reality (Hedge, 1996).
