Open and Distance Education Open and Distance Education, means innovation and flexible approaches of teaching and learning is embedded in its teaching and learning strategy that is dedicated to providing a student-centered learning environment without any geographical boundaries which provides high quality teaching, leading to an enhanced student learning experience at their door steps..

Open Learning :-

Policies and practices that permit entry to learning with no or minimum barriers with respect to age, gender, or time constraints and with recognition of prior learning. These policies need not be part of a distance education system but are complementary to it.

Distance Learning :- the delivery of learning or training to those who are separated mostly by time and space from those who are teaching or training. The teaching is done with a variety of "mediating processes" used to transmit content, to provide tuition and to conduct assessment or measure outcomes.

Flexible Learning :-

the provision of learning opportunities that can be accessed at any place and time. Flexible learning relates more to the scheduling of activities than to any particular delivery mode.

Virtual Education :-

includes aspects of both online and e-learning but goes somewhat further. While it is largely web-centric it does not necessarily limit itself to learners outside a conventional classroom. It uses multimedia and, besides delivering content, also enables a high level of interaction among learners, teachers, peers and administration both synchronously and asynchronously.

Information Communication Technologies - VOU

Venkateshwara Open University will adopt latest Information Communication Technologies  and Support Services which will enable students to learn with the fast pace  for instance:

Audio-based courses are similar in content but without moving pictures and only the sound track of courses are provided. Often the courses are supplemented with the text transcription of the lectures. Video-based courses resemble the face-to-face classroom courses, with a lecturer speaking and presenting PowerPoint slides or explaining examples with online illustrations. Video-streaming technologies are sufficiently used and the students can watch the video through freeware and audio-visual plug-ins. Animated courses: Enriched text-oriented or audio-based course material with animation is provided that is generally a good way of making the content tangible and its overall appearance more interesting. Animations are supplemented through Macromedia Flash or similar educational technologies. Virtual Classroom: Online live teacher’s instruction and feedback is extended that enables real-time voice interaction, whiteboard sharing and breakout sessions to enhance students learning experiences. This provides students an opportunity to interact with the teacher as well as classmates by oral and written communication. Virtual operating room: giving students a space to learn the basic induction procedure before stepping foot in the real-life operating room. Hypertext courses: Structured course material is used as in a distance education program. However, all material is provided electronically and can be viewed with a browser. Hyperlinks connect text, multimedia parts and exercises. Web-supported: Self-Learning Materials courses are based on specific textbooks. Students read and reflect on the chapters by themselves. Review questions, topics for discussion, exercises, case studies, etc. are given chapter wise on a website and discussed with the lecturer. Class meetings may be held to discuss matters in a chartroom. Peer-to-peer courses: courses taught "on-demand" and without a prepared curriculum. A new field of online education will be developed. Social Networking: Using Web 2.0 technologies in virtual classrooms promotes increased social interaction, student-centered instruction and a problem solving curriculum. Students can address a problem that is oriented to a cross curriculum activity. Teachers will act as guides and resources, but it is up to the students to collaborate, discuss, review ideas, and present solutions Regional Center / Study Center
