A PhD student of mine, and colleague on the programme – Phil Sheail – has just finished her thesis on time and distance learning. She discusses and provides some wonderful insights on how the spatial focus of online education (the distance in distance learning) means that we often tend to underplay temporal distancing. Phil’s critique of ‘anytime’ learning is partly that it hides the inequalities and challenges of temporal disjuncture under a facade of ‘flexibility': it meshes really interestingly with what you say here, and I’d be really intrigued to hear more of your thoughts on it. Could this, temporality, be an interesting focus for your final assignment?
