"Open and Distance Learning (ODL) as a Viable\r\nProvider of Quality Higher Education: The Case of\r\nOpen University Malaysia (OUM)"^^ . "With today’s highly intense international competition, countries, particularly those in the\r\ndeveloping world, have no choice but to turn to education to enhance the productive capability of their\r\nhuman capital in order to remain competitive and sustainable. With the current global economic crisis,\r\nthis task has become even more urgent and pertinent. In this regard, open and distance learning (ODL)\r\nhas gained increasing acceptance as a provider of quality education to the masses in these countries.\r\nThis paper shares the experience of Open University Malaysia (OUM) as the first and foremost ODL\r\nUniversity in Malaysia in providing quality education to its learners. With its motto, “University for\r\nAll”, OUM utilises the blended mode of delivery, leveraging significantly on the latest appropriate\r\ntechnology, to effectively contribute towards increasing access to higher education. The paper also\r\noutlines OUM’s unique challenges as an ODL higher education institution (HEI) as well as measures\r\nthat had been undertaken to address them through appropriate policies, processes and practices. The\r\nexperience of OUM provides evidence to reaffirm the belief that an ODL HEI is indeed a viable\r\nprovider of quality higher education for all. (Author's abstract)"^^ .
