Open learning
Interesting learning situation that helps students to be more responsible for what and where they learn, and as well how they learn and what the gained knowledge worth.
Flexible learning
Satisfies the unique learning needs Demands greater responsibility
from students Uses resources more efficient Gives the ability for differenciated
learning Uses own developments
Distance education
The three generations of distance education: Single medium - mail model
(low-level interaction) Multimedia model

model(USA)
Overview of ODL
• represents a variety of educational models
• are built around the central components of the instructional process: presentation of content; interaction with faculty, peers, and resources; practical application; and assessment.
• uses technologies in various ways to address some or all of these components.
• differ not only in the types of technologies that are used, but also in the locus of control over the pace and place of instruction.
• in some models, the faculty and institution have primary control, as is the case in a traditional classroom environment. In others, the control rests with the student.
Requests for all ODLmodel
• Logistical Support
• Student Support
• Faculty Support
• Evaluation
• Laboratory Experiences
Flexible and open learning on BDF
From 1999-2000:Foundations of information technology:2 semesters, 2 lessons per week
What do we want to reach? Teaching information technology to
make students get used to open and flexible learning methods
Research: does open and flexible learning help teaching without teachers being there all time, with the help of the intranet of the college?
HipothesysIf students have a good grounding in
information technology, then they can be educated without the presence of teachers, with using the intranet of the college.
Datas: Number of students: 314 Students who are educated using flexible
and open learning methods: 93

The following four diagrams show the achievement of the special and the traditional groups.
The achievement of the special groups (8 groups) are marked red, the achievement of the traditional groups are marked blue.
The last diagram shows the average score of the groups in the last four tests.
According to the diagrams, the following statements can be made: there’s no significant difference between the achievement of the groups trained by the ODL method and the groups trained with the traditional face-to-face method.
