New technology allows institutions to take the distance out of remote learning, comments Ray Irving, head of learning resources for the MBA at Warwick Business School in the UK.
Certainly, the raft of innovations now available means that e-learning tools make distance learning a viable - and for some a preferable - alternative to more traditional face-to-face, classroom-based learning.
International Data Corporation estimates that S$25.31m was spent on e-learning in Singapore alone in 2004 and this figure is expected to triple by 2008.
“Distance education has widened the reach of business education to previously underserved markets,” says Helen Lange, MBA programme director at Universitas 21 Global.
