Mark Nichols

Dr Mark Nichols was born and bred in New Zealand. In 2001, he completed a Master of Arts in Open and Distance Education through the Open University as a distance student, helped by the 12-hour time difference that gave him a series of consistent extensions. He graduated in his pyjamas in a virtual graduation ceremony at 3am New Zealand time.

Mark spends much of his spare time touring the UK and Europe with his wife, as when they moved to the UK last year they effectively ‘left home’, although their adult sons remain in New Zealand. Mark is a firm believer in the status and practice of distance and online education.
