"The quality of higher education provided by Open and Distance Learning (ODL)\r\ninstitutions has been considered to be lower than that of conventional universities. This is\r\npossibly due to the “part time” nature of ODL, the modes of teaching and learning, as\r\nwell as the image of open universities as giving a “second chance” education to working\r\nadults. However, Open University Malaysia (OUM) believes that this perception of lower\r\nquality can be addressed through proper deployment of key strategies. In the context of\r\nOUM, the strategies include (a) adequate preparation for prospective learners;(b) quality\r\nlearning materials; (c) quality tutors; (d) quality assessment methods; (e) quality support\r\nservices; (f) embracing appropriate technologies; and (g) capacity building. This paper\r\nwill introduce OUM as a relatively young ODL institution and discuss in detail the said\r\nstrategies. OUM believes that confronting this issue of quality is important to ensure that\r\neducational services and consequently, the graduates of ODL institutions are on par with\r\ntraditional institutions.
