All researchers benefit from Beyond Distance Research Alliance's (BDRA) regular research seminar programme, the research into e-learning annual conference, and visitors and networking from around the world. We offer one-to-one regular tutorial support, with experienced e-learning researchers and highly collegiate support and development.
