What support is given to Open Learning students?
Each module has a module tutor who is responsible for delivering the teaching materials via the eLearning Portal. Module tutors are contactable by telephone, fax, e-mail or, if a student is based in the UK and is able to visit Newcastle, on a face-to face basis. The study materials have been designed to enable students to obtain feedback and advice on written work that they submit. This feedback is an integral part of the learning experience and students are encouraged to submit work of this type. Each year group also has a Director of Studies. This person is a member of academic staff. They will be able to assist students with other queries, for example, how a student should proceed if they have concerns that due to family or other problems they will not be able to undertake scheduled examinations or coursework. The Directors of Studies can also be contacted by telephone, fax, email or face to face. Additionally, students can contact the Open Learning Administration team in the Law Sc
