A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DISTANCE LEARNER
LOUISA’S STORY
I recently retired from an 11 year dancing career with Scottish Ballet and had a baby. As I had always wanted to go into dance teaching I enrolled on the BA (Hons) Dance Education programme in October 2010. I live in Scotland and have found that learning by distance is a great way to study as it can fit around my family life.
7.00AM I get up around 7am when the baby wakes up. After breakfast we have a bit of playtime and this is when I get organised for what I need to do for my studies during the day. I may revise what I did the previous day or read emails and forum posts, or look at the next study task. I work from a laptop so I can take my work around the house with me.
10.00AM At about 10am the baby goes for a
nap, and as I know he’ll sleep for at least 2 hours, I’ve prepared what I
want to do and get a lot of work done during this precious time. This is a good time to do some important reading or writing of assignments because I can fully concentrate without any distractions.
