dc.description.abstract	Since it started providing distance education in the late 1940s the University of South Africa (Unisa) has incorporated an element of face-to-face tuition in its educational strategy, first in the form of vacation schools, and later in the form of contact sessions by travelling lecturers. This paper explores the academic rationale underlying the practice, the history of face-to-face tuition at the university up to the challenges it faces today, and current practices in this regard in the College of Human Sciences at the university.	en
