| description | Globalisation and technological changes demand that countries create a knowledgebased
economy to ensure their economic survival. A mechanism to do that is through the
active promotion and provision of lifelong learning. Malaysia is one of those countries
which have been vigorously doing that. It has formulated several policies and strategies
and undertaken a number of initiatives towards providing infrastructural and financial
support to open up more opportunities for lifelong learning among its citizens. ICT is
seen as an integral part of these efforts. ODL with its flexible, affordable and highly
accessible programmes and delivery modes is the best medium to promote, support and
provide lifelong learning in the country. OUM as the country’s first ODL University is in
a very vital position to play its role in contributing towards this endeavour. This role will
be further strengthened with the establishment of its School of Lifelong Learning in early
2005. (Abstract by author) |
