Obstacles and opportunities in distance education

Umeå, August 2005 – A Swedish study at the Umeå University sought to
investigate the main obstacles and opportunities that influence the adult distance learner’s studying and learning. Over thirteen weeks about 33 adult distance learners documented their experiences in a full-time introduction course in a teacher education program at college level. The six men and 27 women had an average age of 36 years, and two-thirds of them had children living at home. Also two-thirds combined studying and working; some of them worked full time.
