| Abstract: | This transcendental phenomenological study examined the social phenomenon of five mothers who are distance learners. The participants’ stories and interview responses were analyzed for major themes or concepts using the process of successive approximation through which six main themes were identified, namely: collaborative group work and forums; help and support; the necessity of flexibility; organization; persistence; and personal versus professional life. |
