| A learner support system helps learners with problems that have less to do with the
content of a course than with such matters as:
In a single-mode institution learner support may be provided by specialist counselors, often based at study centers.
In a distance learning program or dual-mode institution learner
support may be the responsibility of the instructor who
teaches on the Internet or by correspondence, broadcasting,
or video or audio conferencing. Some authors consider
instruction part of learner support.
