Hi Sandhya,
there are two aspects. Time and Money...
If you are working and does not have enough time then preferably distance learning is one solution for you. If you are still studying then preferably go for full time course in any university camp…
There are a lot of pros and cons when it comes to online courses.
Pros = Cheaper, much more convenient
Cons = no real-life personal attention (although you still often receive personalized attention from your instructors), some employers don't look…
I do not support distance learning unless there is a financial problem. Learning together not only provides us education but also many new aspects of life, which can't be taught out side of the campus.
Hello Sanjoy,
Your article is pretty good.Where can i find full version of your paper?
Hi Sandhya,
At the University of Auckland in New Zealand, we're about to offer our Health Informatics Post-graduate Diploma via distance learning.
Drop me an email c.paton@auckland.ac.nz if you are interested.

Hi Sanjoy,
I am thinking about the Edinburgh course. Do you recommend it? Is it useful for someone practicing in the NHS?
Many thanks for any info you have for me!

Hi all,
I would like to get your comments on the pros and cons of distance learning in health informatics courses.
Is it advantageous to go for a full time course in health informatics?
Thanks in advance
