@sandymillin Hi Sandy - I think the different versions have different issues - for example our 8 week course! #eltchat |
Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:06:42 +0000 |

@sandymillin @vmorgana Is the distance version easier than the f2f one, as regards timing? #ELTchat |

#eltchat I think it's a very tough course because you have to unpick and question everything - but worth it! |

I am tutoring on my second online course now and the communication issues are very different there too #eltchat but the 8wk is the hardest |

I think the first thing is no matter which version - do quite a bit of reading before the course - as much as u can #eltchat |
