Student Satisfaction with Open Distance Learning: Experiences of Open Universities

Abstract

A very significant and sustainable innovation in the form of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) was necessary for making education accessible to everyone. In other words, a system was needed for continuous support to all learners within all sub-systems of education so that education could reach the unreachable. The ODL system emerged in Commonwealth Asia three decades ago to provide access to education to all. The ODL system is more flexible in nature and is ready to make desirable changes as per the situation.
