that spark of interest and knowing how to find information
independently insures that what your learning is always
available to you. If you become interested in a certain
topic, perhaps because of something you see, read or hear
about, or perhaps because one of your children or friends
has a question, you can get and look it up. You will have
developed the skills to find information, digest it, synthesize
it and formulate an answer to any question that comes your
way.
THE DIFFICULTIES OF AN EXTERNAL PROGRAMME
There are also some difficulties associated with external
Programme and it would be unwise to underestimate their
potential impact. In the sections 'What to do if you get into
difficulties' and 'Student Support Services' on page 28, you
will find advice on coping with some of the problems that
might arise.

Your responsibility
Any form of education requires the student to make a
certain level of commitment in order for it to be successful.
External programme may be more flexible than an on-
campus course but it still requires you to take responsibility
for your own learning. You must be committed and you
should use the tools at your disposal to their full potential so
that the programme is a rich and positive learning
experience.
