Clare,
I have recommended about the same or a little bit less (usually
depending on the students circumstances such as: are they able to use
the university's computer labs at all etc?) as our University charge
for a network connection from their accommodation. This charge is £2
per week so I recommend a 'contribution' to phone calls of between £1
to £2 per week and the LEAs I have dealt with seem to accept this.
I try to make certain that they are totally justified in using the
Internet for the course and they are not being lazy or it is a 'want'
and not a 'need'.
Hope this helps
Gordon
P.S. £1 to £2 equates to between 100 to 200 minutes at off peak times.
