Do I have to buy books separately?

We think that it is useful to have an individual copy of the textbook used on a given module, especially as this will be linked to the CD Rom study materials. However, the British Council’s Library will have a small class set of textbooks.

Is the course entirely online? Are there any face-to-face contact sessions?

This is a supported e-Learning programme. Support is offered in the following forms:

3-day induction workshop (12, 13 and 14 Jaunary 2007) conducted by University of Bedfordshire staff at the MLZ in Delhi. The programme uses a real-time voice-to-voice interactive seminar package called VIPER (Voice Internet Protocol Extended Reach) that gives students tutorial support directly from the University staff throughout each semester. This does not require a special software package. Follow this link to read more on VIPER features.
Bedfordshire will also engage local facilitators to meet students for peer group discussions and help clarify doubts. These weekend sessions will be held at the British Council.
University of Bedfordshire lecturers provide a ‘Flying Faculty’ service, which delivers short overviews of each module, at British Council Delhi.
All the learning materials needed for each module are available on CD ROM, which gives easy-to-follow sections related to the topics and areas of study to be covered.
In addition students will use the University’s virtual learning environment, Blackboard, which enables the student to communicate with both the tutors and fellow students.
Students will also be able to access Bedfordshire’s digital learning resource centre.
There are opportunities for self-assessment throughout these sections.
