The number of classes taken by school teachers and university staff varies from subject to subject. For some subjects, a university staff member gives a lecture at the centre each week and this is followed by a tutorial taken by a teacher from the host school. Distance education Monash University is one of the largest and highly regarded providers of distance education courses in Australia. The expertise of the university staff involved with distance education along with the comprehensive study materials developed for these subjects are provided to enhancement students studying in this mode. The study materials are designed to guide a student through the work week by week.
Students have the opportunity to attend on-campus sessions once or twice per semester.
Students have telephone access to university staff, and in some subjects students also have electronic access to staff. Students may study via distance education if there is no enhancement centre in their area or simply by choice. Sometimes the number of students taking an enhancement study by distance education in a local region will be sufficiently large to arrange a distance tutorial centre. The weekly one-hour tutorial is taken by a teacher from the selected host school and may involve some visits by university staff. All the other arrangements for distance education remain the same.
