We also compare findings to previous research in face-to-face settings to outline how distance education provides distinct opportunities and challenges in students’ early adjustment experiences

Fascinating study showing the complex but positive lived experiences of hundreds of international students studying at a distance @UNISA @Prof_AGunter
In this paper, we explore this concept by examining the adjustment experiences of 1195 international distance learners at the Univerisity of South Africa and found their experiences varied from students studying “at home” @DrBartRienties @Prof_AGunter @ParvatiRaghuram
