Also on the theme of retention the report of a small project on retention in distance education, which I worked on with Alan Tait and Daksha Patel is now available. The research was funded through a grant from the University of London Centre for Distance Education (CDE). While the core of the report is a review of the literature on retention in distance education, there is some discussion of data from three of University of London International Programmes and some suggestions for questions that course teams might want to reflect on in relation to retention in the first year of study.
