An Investigation of the Problems Experienced by 
OUHK Students who are Prison Inmates

The purpose of this project is two-fold.  In the first phase, it will investigate ways in which OUHK can make distance education more accessible for students who are prison inmates.  Data will be collected from the perspectives of inmate students, their tutors, their Course Co-ordinators, and Correctional Services personnel.  The second phase will be an exploration of the efficacy of two initiatives, video-conferencing and peer tutoring, in addressing the major difficulties identified in the first phase.
