further education ?A range of flexible educational options is on offer, from overseas courses to online programmes
Distance learning is an ideal method of study for those who require flexible educational options that accommodate a fast-paced or time-challenged schedule.
Distance learning also offers a wide variety of courses, and exposure to faculty and fellow students.
Almost all of Hong Kong's teaching institutions offer a range of courses in association with leading overseas universities and colleges. Alternatively, overseas universities and colleges provide distance-learning programmes with various levels of local support services and tuition via the internet.
Online distance learning, also called e-learning, has become a major consideration in the development of higher education curricula, and it is rapidly expanding.
As with traditional universities, choosing the right programme and faculty is vital. Virtual professors are not merely providers of information. Their role is to select and filter information for student consideration, to ask thought-provoking questions and to facilitate discussion.
