As I end my first experiences with distance learning and disappear off for the summer, I wanted to share with you some of the incredibly positive experiences I've had and advise you as to where to go from here.

I thought you might be interested to keep up to date with distance learning from my perspective. Also, with so much free stuff online for students, I ask whether it is really necessary.
