Abstract
Planning and writing learning materials for distance learning is difficult when teaching English for Specific Purposes in a 
technical university. The purpose of the present study was to show that distance learning materials should be adapted so as to 
create a holistic educational experience for our learners, to promote active, effective learning print, and to allow assessment of 
effectiveness. The main argument in doing so is that the philosophy of most distance learning systems aims at removing all 
barriers to education and at allowing learners to study what, when, and where they want, i.e. increasing educational access and 
educational choice.
