Open and Distance Learning

Open and distance learning (ODL) is an educational approach that allows students to study remotely, without the need to attend a traditional classroom. It offers flexibility, enabling learners to access materials and complete coursework at their own pace. Resources are often available online, such as videos, readings, and interactive activities. ODL is inclusive and can reach a diverse audience, making education more accessible to those who might have geographical, financial, or time constraints. This format emphasizes self-directed learning, allowing individuals to balance their studies with personal and professional commitments.
