Abstract

This critical reflection presents the major challenges faced while studying a doctorate through distance education. The challenges faced are explored in relation to the research literature to devise a framework for underpinning the practice of distance education doctoral advisers to ensure effective working relationships are developed and maintained throughout the candidature. The primary aim of the framework, known as CONNECT, is to reduce feelings of isolation for distance education doctoral students, while promoting a sense of connection to advisers, peers, and the wider university environment to reduce attrition rates in this population.
