Abstract
What does research tell us about the best ways to encourage students to adopt the most sensible approaches to learning, and what do we know about designing distance teaching so that it brings about the deepest understanding and active learning? Professor Börje Holmberg was Director General of Hermods, the famous Swedish Correspondence College, before joining the FernUniversitat at Hagen in West Germany where he is head of the Central Institute for Research in Distance Education.Keywords
