    Notifications for distance learning students (Policy lapse, submitted by Lorna Martin)

      Distance Learning students who are clearly remote from the campus need to be informed when teaching staff are unavailable.

      Why you think it is important

      As a distance learning student I have answered posts from other students on the news forum seeking input from tutors and also emailed my personal tutor without any responses. After phoning my personal tutors campus base I discovered she was on holiday. I think there needs to be some kind of built in notification process on Moodle that enables us to see at a glance whether teaching staff are available for contact and guidance rather than potentially waiting a week or two for a reply from an email. Distance learning can be isolating enough as it is.

      Is there anything else you think we should know?

      I have read the guidance on what makes a good policy on the student council page

      Yes
