    PREST in Open and Distance Learning: Researching Marginalised and Disadvantaged Learners (B5 Handbook)
    (2004) Spronk, Barbara; Pennells, Jason
    The aims of this handbook are to: - define the terms ‘marginalised’ and ‘disadvantaged’ as they apply in particular to learners - explore various approaches to researching marginalised and disadvantaged learners - familiarise ODL practitioners with participatory action research (PAR), a research strategy often used with marginalised or disadvantaged peoples - enable ODL practitioners to use this strategy to research issues arising from provision of ODL to marginalised and disadvantaged learners.
