Such convergence has been driven by a number of factors, including the new technologies for teaching and learning, the impact of lifelong learning policies, the entry of larger than ever numbers of adult part-time studentsRoutledge studies in distance education.Distance educationOpen learningContinuing educationEducational technologyDistance education.Open learning.Continuing education.Educational technology.371.3/5Mills Roger1941-1674837Tait Alan1674838FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910824449603321The convergence of distance and conventional education4039871UNINA
