Abstract

Distance teaching universities are often referred to as open universities, even if they are not called an open university. The use of the term open supposes that education and learning have traditionally been closed by various barriers, such as entrance requirements, time constraints, geographical location, and so forth, and assumes that an open learning institution purports to overcome these barriers or part of them.
