 rch which they will be presenting as follows:\n\n*LEARNER SUPPORT IN OPEN 
 AND DISTANCE LEARNING: A CASE STUDY OF THE BACHELOR OF EDUCATION EXTERNAL 
 PROGRAMME OF MAKERERE UNIVERSITY*\n_(Dr. Harriet Nabushawo & Dr. Mark Wint
 erbottom)_\n\nIn Open and Distance Learning (ODL)\, the teacher and studen
 t are separated in time and space most of the time. However\, to ensure co
 ntinuity of teaching and learning processes\, learner support mechanisms a
 re usually put in place to keep the students motivated. The organisation o
 f these services varies from one institution to another and also depends o
 n the context.  This paper examines the organisation and effect of learner
  support services on the development of teacher competencies in the Bachel
 or of Education External programme.\n\n*DISCOVERING THE WEALTH IN UNDERSTA
 NDING ECOSYSTEMS INTERACTIONS*\n_(Busulwa Henry Ssebuliba & Dr. Mark Winte
 rbottom)_\n\nThe need to improve understanding of ecological interactions 
 can enable learners to discover the wealth and opportunities provided by e
 cosystem surrounding them through approaches where learning takes place ou
 tside the classroom. An interactive learning resource book that advocates 
 for environmental conservation through biology-ecology lessons is being pr
 epared to enable learners to solve simple environmental challenges and app
 reciate the interdependence of the environment with human beings in conser
 ving ecosystems' benefits and functions\, hence making learning realistic 
 and relevant.\n\n"Download Seminar flyer":http://www.educ.cam.ac.uk/centre
