John Please could you try again. I tested it out with a couple of emails and one email was blocked but on retrying it said it was registered.

If not please contact me through the contact form and I will register you manually.

Thanks for reporting this. I am still investigating

What a great post Alan. I am one of the people working on this study and this is what we have written in our scoping document. It chimes so well with what you have just said. Thanks for this brilliant comment. Can we quote you in our final report? We can anonymise if preferred.

“It is our assumption that most learners in post-compulsory settings will experience some online component to their learning, formal or informal, and that as they move into lifelong learning/professional development this component will form a larger proportion of study time. Online learners are not, then, a distinct group of learners: they are post-compulsory learners in particular situations and/or with particular preferences and needs.”

Hi Robyn

Congratulations on being the very first contributor to this forum!!

I hope that others will join the conversation.

In response to your question I wonder if it is because you are at Doctoral level that the supervisors may expect you to be very self sufficient rather than providing a much more structured experience.
