The terms open learning and distance education represents approaches that focus on opening access to education and training provision, freeing learners from the constraints of time and place, and offering flexible learning opportunities to individuals and groups of learners. Open and distance learning is one of the most rapidly growing fields of education, and its potential impact on all education delivery systems has been greatly accentuated through the development of Internet-based information technologies, and in particular the World Wide Web. Antony’s Mission Educational Institutions as a force contributing to social and economic development understand that open and distance learning is one of the most rapidly growing fields of education and training. It is fast becoming an accepted and indispensable part of the mainstream of educational systems in both developed and developing countries, with particular importance for the latter. This growth has been stimulated in part by interest among educators and trainers in the use of new, Internet-based information technologies, but also by recognition that traditional ways of organizing education need to be reinforced by innovative methods if the fundamental right of all people to a life of learning is to be realized
One innovation in particular, that is the expansion of the World Wide Web, coupled with a continued fall in the cost of processing, storing and transmitting information, has contributed to significant shifts in how distance education is perceived by educators and how it is designed, delivered and administered. It is widely acknowledged that in the past years we have had intense development of distance education experiences giving birth to a surprising change of vision and rhetoric to express the hopes and promises attached to concepts of modern technologies.
