E-Learning _at_ Belfast Institute

• It has provided a measure of independence,
  allowing me to study either at an accelerated or
  reduced pace relative to the class as a whole.
• Great to know one can access anytime, any place
  and anywhere! It is a tremendous asset to have a
  live on-line learning tool.
• . The integration of online learning into my
  tutors teaching schedule has greatly aided me in
  achieving my academic goals. .. There were
  several instances when I accessed Blackboard in
  the small hours . to get vital assistance that I
  needed . .
•  I was really impressed by the variety and high
  quality of the material available. regularly
  updated as we progressed through the course.
• My . favourite was the Discussion Board ..,
  as it facilitated constructive interaction
  between all my tutors English literature classes
  ..that would not otherwise have occurred. The
  interesting topics .. led to lively ..
  debate, skeins of which continued for some
  time.

• Without doubt the great plus of the course, as
  far as I was concerned was the flexibility of
  being able to study at times which suited me. As
  my job takes me away from home for 3 - 4 days at
  a time, it would have been impossible to attend
  conventional college, as I would have probably
  missed a third of the term.
• I would definitely recommend this course for
  anyone with time restraints and other
  commitments, or for those who may feel
  intimidated in a traditional classroom
• environment.
  Andrew Mirfield
• GCSE English on-line was flexible learning which
  allowed me to fit my learning  around a busy
  "adult" life but with ample tutor support to
  keep me on track and going in the right
  direction.
  
• The course was excellent and this is a
  word I dont use lightly. The tutor time was
  110 and the course material was very
  informative and easily followed. The need for
  self-discipline is needed and this is of course
  the students sole responsibility.
• Ultan McNulty
• -the English GCSE online is a fantastic learning
  tool.
• The online course gives you the
  opportunity to work at the assignments around
  your ifestyle, work commitments and family life.
  The interaction from your tutor is like having
  your own teacher in the room with you as the
  support given is first class..

• The benefits of online GCSE English are
  unlimited.  Once you are signed up and on the
  course you can e-mail your tutor/tutors with any
  question at anytime.  Help is always on hand and
  the support you get is tremendous.

  Clugston Have a family of two kids 5 and 2
  years old. I work and have very little time to
  study formally.
• .Overall the course is excellent. The
  work provided to myself and other students was
• fantastic. You could not have been
  prepared better for the exams.
