		<description><![CDATA[
Out of a sample of 15 UHI online learners (13 female/2 male), who I asked how quickly they would like a response from their tutor to an important email query or discussion board post, the results are as follows:
Immediate&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;26.7% (4)
Within 24 hours&#8230;.46.7% (7)
Within 48 hours&#8230;.13.3% (2)
Within 72 hours&#8230;.6.6%  (1)
Within 1 week&#8230;&#8230;6.6%  (1)

		<description><![CDATA[The interview question I have sent has proven to be a difficult one for the learners to answer overall. It is not easy for many to think of a specific experience. 
So I have decided to change it and send it to new interviewees.

The new question is:

Is there a specific learning style that is best suited to learning online?
This is a question I have been pondering from the start of this research. It seems to me that learning via computers favour those with logical abilities and who like to learn in irrelevant contexts, and is not ideal for those who like [...]]]></description>

Currently, I am trying to come up with some suitable questions to include in the online survey. It&#8217;s not an easy task but I am certainly becoming clearer on the focus of my research by reading some of the literature to do with online learning and thinking through what it is exactly that I want to know.
Basically, I am looking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The research problem I have started to investigate is that learners are not necessarily accomplishing learning online across all subjects. The quality of the courses varies. It seems to me that many online courses are not designed and delivered with the learners in mind and are therefore less effective than they could be.
I am keen [...]]]></description>
