Different Ways to Learn Through Distance Education
Traditional Distance Education
A study guide and any necessary text materials are sent to you by post or courier. Pursue reading, research, practical tasks, and assignments as instructed. Seek and receive tutor support where needed (via phone, mail, email or fax), borrow videos, receive personal assistance as required on a one to one basis. Submit assignments by either email, fax or mail, and receive expert feedback. Sit optional exams, if you so choose.

Problem Based Learning
Every PBL project is carefully designed by experts to expose you to the information and skills that we want you to learn. When assigned a project, you are given:
A statement of the problem (e.g. diseased animal, failing business, anorexia case study);
Questions to consider when solving the problem;
A framework for the time and effort you should spend on the project;
Support from the school.
The problems that you will solve in your course will relate to what you are learning. They are problems that you might encounter when working in that field, adapted to your level of study.
