The truth behind a plush interior
Article Abstract:
The benefits of degree courses on the Internet have not been fully established. Although research in the US found there were a number of difficulties in a language course set up in Indiana. It was found there were problems with the technology and the students were often unable to discuss their problems with the course. A masters degree course in primary health care via the Internet has been set up in the UK. The course started with a residential week and the response from the eight students has been good. The course will be taught by tutors experienced in teaching via the computer.

Wanted: cult of personality
Article Abstract:
Some observers have suggested the reason why British universities do not offer degrees in biography is because biography is not seen as scholarly. Yet many other subjects, such as films are seen as worthy of academic study. Biography is most often studied only as part of courses on history literature. Even some biographers suggest there is no need for anymore biographers. Students who studied biography could be taught how to use a wider range of sources for their research.
