Text[edit]
I am putting some text here that is not appropriate for a dab page, but that perhaps someone could use when writing the broad-concept article:
- The term open university usually refers to a university with an open-door academic policy, i.e. no entry requirements.
- The term may also be used to refer to universities employing specific teaching methods:
- Open supported learning, a teaching method used by The Open University which is not the same as distance education or correspondence study
- Distance education, but not all open universities focus on distance education and conversely distance education universities do not necessarily have open admission policies, e.g. the University of South Africa.
