Challenges of the Model Large numbers of students Large numbers of stakeholders Indirect control (technical, site and broadcast partners) Heavy administrative and co-ordination burden on providers

Pedagogical Developments Peer learning Problem-based learning Situated learning Self-directed learning Modularisation Research-led teaching

Technological Developments Satellite TV Fibre optic cable (MAN) Video Conferencing IPTV

Reflections 14 th year completed in 2007 >5,000 students successfully completed to date 90%+ pass rate 95% completion rate Transmission delivery success > 98% Transmission receive site failure rare – prompt follow-up and back-up facilities

Conclusions Stakeholders work together to develop solutions that meet learner needs Ongoing review, reflection and development (pedagogic and technical) Questions??? Contact:
