"ODL institutions have often been seen as possessing an innovative and technology-driven delivery\r\napproach in teaching and learning practices. The key is in the online delivery of instruction for working\r\nlearners. Online delivery would require e-tutoring and the use of learning materials to faciltate instruction\r\nacross diverse groups of learners in a ubiquitous learning environment. This study focuses on Open\r\nUniversity Malaysia’s approach in leveraging online learning for its stakeholders via its academic\r\nprogrammes. This study attempts to ascertain factors which affect the learning outcomes in ODL. The\r\nstudy was conducted via web survey on 397 learners enrolled at Open University Malaysia from 2012 to\r\n2015. The sample consisted of learners aged between 18 to 64 years. The measurement of learning\r\noutcomes was determined via a 5-point Likert rating scale questionnaire. In addition, open-ended\r\nresponses were also elicited to confirm quantitative findings. Three key constructs emerged from factor\r\nanalysis, i.e. i. teaching and materials, ii. e-tutoring, and iii. learning experiences. These 3 factors were\r\nthen confirmed using Structural Equation Modeling techniques to determine model fit derived from\r\nexploratory factor analysis. The results show a good fit of the hypothesised model with the structure of\r\nthe data. As ODL institutions enrol learners from various demographic groups, this study attempted to\r\nlook into whether demographic differences such as gender, age categories, experience in online learning,\r\nlearners’ CGPA results and time spent on online learning had a significant bearing on learning outcomes.\r\nThe findings show that female learners perceived teaching and materials, e-tutoring and learning\r\nexperiences better than male learners but these differences are statistically not significant. From the\r\nperspectives of age groups, the study found that age maturity results in slight differences in teaching and\r\noutcomes, i.e. the older the learners the more positive the outcomes. However, across the different age\r\ngroups, no statistical differences exist (p > .05). This study also found no significant differences (p > .05)\r\nin the perception of outcomes between learners who had previous experience in online learning compared\r\nto those who had not. Based on the learners’ CGPA scores, this study shows a general tendency for\r\nlearners who score high in CGPA to also perceive positively in the 3 constructs, viz. teaching and\r\nmaterials, e-tutoring and learning experiences. However, no significant differences (p > ,05) existed\r\nacross the different CGPA groups. An interesting finding of this study is that the time learners spent in\r\nlogging-in to the online sessions - this had a significant effect on the outcomes (p < .05). The study\r\nconcluded that the more time expended in logging-in online, the better would be the outcomes on\r\nteaching and use of the materials, e-tutoring and learning experiences. Based on the empirical evidence of\r\nthe study, this paper puts forth a proposition that ODL is an effective delivery system for working\r\nlearners - leading to good learning outcomes. ODL can guide learners towards the acquisition of desired\r\nknowledge and skills needed to excel in academic pursuits among working learners.\r\nKey Words: learning outcomes, online and distance learning, programme evaluation\r\n\r\n(Abstract by author)"^^ .
