"Malaysia’s older adult population aged 50 years and above has increased rapidly\r\nduring the last twenty years, and this places a great demand on social and health\r\ncare systems that needs to be paid for by the working age population. If the older\r\nadults can remain healthy, mentally active and productive, there is no reason why\r\nthey cannot continue to contribute positively until the last years of life; undergoing\r\nwhat we call successful ageing. One approach to attain successful ageing is for\r\nolder adults to be employed for as long as possible. To be employable, older adults\r\nwould need to upgrade themselves with the relevant skills and knowledge that\r\nmeet the requirements of new job activities. It is in this context that open and\r\ndistance learning (ODL) can play a significant role. Presently there are six ODL\r\ninstitutions in Malaysia that offer various study programmes at the Diploma,\r\nBachelors, Masters and Ph.D levels. This flexible education opportunity is not fully\r\ntaken up by the older adult learners, and possible reasons could be that they are\r\nnot aware that they are eligible and that they could participate in distance learning\r\nin ODL institutions. The purpose of this paper therefore, is to highlight the profile\r\nand the learning experiences of older adult learners in ODL institutions with the aim\r\nof encouraging others to enroll and study in relevant programmes."^^ .
