Our latest paper from @ESRC_IDEAS @JLMittelmeier @ParvatiRaghuram @Prof_AGunter out today!!! @OpenUniversity @unisa @ESRC 🔽🔽🔽🔽
and of course the various other members of amazing @ESRC_IDEAS team @14prinsp @Prof_AGunter @MarkusBreines and others :-)
We also compare findings to previous research in face-to-face settings to outline how distance education provides distinct opportunities and challenges in students’ early adjustment experiences
In this paper, we outline how factors such as demographic characteristics, class, language, and access to study resources impact distance learners’ social and academic adjustment experiences at @unisa during their first semesters of study.
Hurrah our next paper from our project has been published and freely available! @14prinsp @ParvatiRaghuram
