abstract: Distance education is a relatively new phenomenon in the Malaysian
education scene. In its basic form it was introduced in 1971 when Universiti
Sains Malaysia (USM) established its Centre for Off–Campus Studies. In
1994, the Centre for Off–Campus Studies was renamed as the Centre for
Distance Education. The Centre for Distance Education was upgraded in
1998 to School of Distance Education. From 1971 to 1989, USM is the only
local university to offer courses through distance learning.
