Abstract

This study implemented a survey on learners' utilizations and experiences of various formats of distance learning resources spanning from the sub-system of course package to that of learning support services. One of the main findings was the unbalanced development between two sub-systems, which means that the educational institution focuses much on the development of course packages while to some extent neglects the importance of providing sufficient learning support and services. It is one of the most urgent tasks to establish a more powerful, flexible, and effective learning support and services system in order to assure quality distance learning.
