1. INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME
Welcome to the module Geography of Services Provision (GGH2602). During the semester we take
an in-depth look at services provision from a geographical perspective. I hope that you will enjoy this
module, and that the knowledge and insights that you are going to acquire will be not only of
theoretical value, but of practical value to you as well. The module is offered online, but we also
provide a printed tutorial letter in order to assist students who do not have continuous access to the
module site. The new online learning environment may imply a steep learning curve, but it is also
very exciting, so please take advantage of all the benefits it offers. I do realise that you may well
experience some difficulties, but it is hoped that as a variety of new technologies become available
for electronic access, the economic burden and risks such as limited access and power failures may
decrease. In teaching and presenting this module we have adopted a mixed-mode approach involving
both online and printed material. However, since we understand that you may not always have access
to the internet, we have also developed the GGH2602/MO001 document.
THE ONLINE ENVIRONMENT
The fact that you have received this MO001 document does not mean that you do not need to go
online. During this semester you will have to do various activities on myUnisa and be actively
involved in the learning process. Participating in discussions and working together with your fellow
students may lead to the development of a community of scholars who can keep contact after
completing the module. Your active participation will enhance not only your own learning experience,
but also that of your peers. Please claim your Unisa login and set up your myLife account at
