abstract: 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. (Abstract by authors)
