Abstract

The University of Southern Queensland Australia.
The learning needs of students in bridging mathematics programs
offered by distance education are well known. This paper examines the
evolution of online initiatives designed to meet the needs of on and off
campus students at a large Australian regional university. The developments,
including specific support programs for pre-tertiary, engineering, statistics,
economics and overseas students as well as generic mathematics support for
all students, range from document delivery systems to interactive multimedia
and online discussion groups. These are discussed within the context of online
learning theory and the tension
between delivery innovation and access restrictions.
