Teaching Methods
The National Extension College produces its own learning materials, which are delivered both directly to home-based learners and via other organisations and training providers.
When a learner enrolls with the National Extension College they receive a full set of course materials and a course handbook. They are also allocated a personal tutor, who is contactable by email and telephone. The personal tutor is responsible for marking the learner's work and providing feedback for the duration of the course. In addition to the personal tutor, each course has a dedicated coordinator whom each learner or their sponsor/employer can also contact for support or advice.
Further support for learners comes from NEC's online student groups, which enable learners to contact each other, provide access to downloadable course materials, allow the uploading of assignments and suggest potentially useful websites.

Famous quotes containing the words teaching and/or methods:
“... teaching to me was anathema, chiefly because it would condemn me to a world of petticoats.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“I think it is a wise course for laborers to unite to defend their interests.... I think the employer who declines to deal with organized labor and to recognize it as a proper element in the settlement of wage controversies is behind the times.... Of course, when organized labor permits itself to sympathize with violent methods or undue duress, it is not entitled to our sympathy.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
