Hello,
has it been considered to offer the course book (for the one-year online course) as an e-book? It seems that the opportunity to order a copy has passed, but even if it was available I'm afraid wouldn't have a spare 60 euro to buy it. An e-book would be an efficient way of getting the book out to students. I know It's not necessary to pass the course, but it would be great to have access and I wouldn't mind paying a few pounds for an e-book.
In Light,
Lou
Hi Lou!
Good question! I actually asked the question myself back in August!
I wanted to recieve a PDF version as I am living in Brazil and the postal service here is very complicated in terms of items coming in from other countries.
The reply that I recieved was.....
The course book is not available as a PDF, for several reasons, including that the book could be be copied and distributed at will on the internet.
I really wanted the book, so I made enquiries as to how i could aquire it and I recieved lots of help. It did turn out quite expensive with the posage included, but I decided regardless of this I still wanted the book. (just as a note, money is quite tight for me, but i decided to pursue it)
The process was not easy! It took me until 19th October to arrive, with many obstacles related to customs. However I recieved lots of help from BOEL and the courier company also and eventually received the book.
It's a very personal choice, but for me it was well worth the effort and costs in order to obtain the book. So far I am on page 55 and would say that I agree witht the statement of BOEL that it is possible to complete the course without the book. However there are lots of extra insights to be gained form the book, I would say. I am happy I went to the effort to obtain it.
I thought to share my experience with you, I hope it helps in some way.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
