Student needs and support: The beginnings of an alternative view
9th International Conference on Open and Distance Learning (Cambridge, England, 07/10/2001–10/10/2001)
2001
Abstract
In the first section of this paper I outline Bradshaw's typology of needs with a view to problematising the seemingly straightforward notion "needs" and by implication problematising its consequences for student "support".
In the second section I seek to illustrate how the conventional notion of student needs and student support draws attention away from rather than towards their and our 'real' needs.
In the third section I outline the implications of this account for universities in such a way as to provide a reminder of a very different way of contextualising and subsequently conceptualising supporting students in Open and Distance Learning.
