Abstract | This paper explores the use of an online tutorial system by distance students in a large first year engineering statics course. Student feedback suggests that this course is often perceived as a hurdle course for students, so the course team is constantly searching for new ways to support distance students and enhance their course experience. Most distance students have time constraints and multiple commitments other than their study, they do not have the face to face interaction with course staff that on-campus students do. Consequently they have fewer opportunities to access content specific assistance as they work through course materials and to receive immediate feedback on their |
