When I was doing my masters at Sheffield Hallam, I started the course as a face to face participant but moved jobs and cities halfway through. As there was the option to join tutorials through Adobe Connect and work collaboratively with peers through Skype and the course wiki it meant that I could continue the course despite the change in circumstances. Commuting to seminars and tutorials would have been too costly and time consuming and I would have dropped out.
