description: In order to achieve competitive advantage, most institutions improve their service  and facilities. Open and distance learning pedagogy has been on the upward  trend over the years. It provides flexibility that attracts most of its learners who  are adult-matured learners with much commitment such as work burden and  family commitment. This paper integrated the attributes of the impact of  socioeconomic on open and distance learning (ODL) in Malaysia. In this study,  we have examined socioeconomic attributes on the open and distance learning  mode in Malaysia using the multinomial logit model. The findings revealed that,  male respondents with higher income are significant for the programme and  facilities offered as compared to female respondents. The attribute of institution  reputation too has increasing positive value for both levels for respondents who  are single with higher income. While the attribute of facilities offered is significant  for male with higher income. The highest level of attribute for programme offered  is significant for male respondents in this study.
