Distance EducationStudy wherever, whenever and whatever you want. It’s your choice.
Distance education and study online or by correspondence have become the study mode of choice for many students who, for whatever reason prefer off-campus to campus-based study.
Overview
Australian Football College (AFC) offers Distance education, flexible learning, and study by correspondence or the opportunity to undertake full qualification or single units through our world-class distance education program. In this way, a course of study can be undertaken while balancing other commitments.
This mode of study means that you can undertake a course of study without having to attend lectures on campus. You can study from home or in a remote area without having to relocate. You can be a part time or full time student. You may choose to do your entire course by distance education or choose to do some by distance and / or a component face to face.
At AFC, we view our distance education and on campus students as equal, with both receiving the same globally-recognised, quality education. As a distance education student, you’ll still have plenty of opportunity to connect and communicate with lecturers, tutors and fellow students – online or by phone.
Why use distance education?
There are a number of reasons why you may want to undertake distance education or flexible learning, such as:
- you live and work in a remote area with limited access to higher education
- your work hours or commitments prevent you from attending scheduled lectures
- the course of study that you want to complete is only available at a provider that is an inconvenient distance from where you live
- you are juggling other responsibilities or commitments.
What does flexible learning and delivery mean?
Flexible learning and delivery generally refers to:
- course design that caters for a range of different learning styles and needs through various access opportunities (face-to-face, distance, a mix of both) and learning modes
- a combination of face to face or common teaching practices and learning modes as well as the alternatives provided by various media including, but not limited to, online learning.
Study resources
A distance education student has access to the resources required to complete a course of study and will be provided with the course curriculum through various multimedia materials.
