Produktbeschreibung

This book investigated the information environment of distance education students at the tertiary- level in Botswana. Four distance teaching institutions comprising the University of Botswana and three cross-border institutions (University of Derby, UNISA and MANCOSA) that had visible presence in the country were focused.
