PRINTED MATERIALS

In distance education the central role, needless to say, is played by printed study materials, mainly textbooks and study guides. All necessary textbooks and study guides are handed over or sent to the students once they have duly registered and paid up the tuition fees. These textbooks and study guides are prepared and written by the professors and lecturers who are experts in their respective fields, of study.
