What is ‘ODL System”? How does it differ from the ‘Correspondence System’?

‘ODL’ means Open and Distance Learning. It is an aggregate of the ‘Open Learning
System’ and the “Distance Education Methodology’. In the “Correspondence System’
the teacher is absent. So is he in the ‘ODL System’. But in the ‘ODL System’ he is
omnipresent, as the style of all learning material, be it print or audio/video, is selfinstructional.
The learners are supposed to get taught by these omnipresent teachers.

They are supposed to get clarifications pertaining to the doubts and difficulties faced
by them from the academic counsellors at the learner support centres. The back-up of
support services through the network of the learners support centres is of cardinal
importance in respect of the ‘ODL System’.
