Distance Learning Students: Should we use Technology or Pedagogy to Overcome Work and Life Obstacles?
Authors: David Mathew, Susan Sapsed.

We show that online tutors assume roles beyond the customary scope of teaching: they are frequently obliged to assume pastoral care roles that might be better suited to a counsellor or a professional in a different industry.
