Abstract
This article focuses upon the postgraduate learner and the nature of support offered to them within increasingly popular online programs. In recent times learners are more readily considering online education options as opposed to face-to-face classroom environments, particularly when learning is beyond an undergraduate level. In seeking to fully utilise the opportunities associated with online learning this article provides practical recommendations for potential postgraduate learners, their teachers and the learning environment itself. The utility of the recommendations discussed extend to a range of domains that are being presently taught and facilitate the design and delivery of future online learning approaches.
