Distance education can be more learners centered if distance educators are aware of the
problems, needs, attitudes and characteristics of their learners.
The aim of this study was to compare the learners’ profile in terms of their attitude and
demography between the learners of computer science and health science. A crosssectional
study design was used to collect data using a structured pre-tested selfadministrated
questionnaire. A total of 612 learners were responded, among them
71.1% were female. The mean age of the learners were 33.2 years and ranged from 21
to 52 years. The mean age of the learners of BSN was significantly higher than the
learners of DCSA. The results significantly stated that the learners of DCSA program were
resided far away than the learners of BSN program (p=0.012) whereas a total of 65.2%
of the learners were resided on average 10 kilometer distance from the study centers.
The monthly family income of the learners of DCSA program was significantly higher
than the learners of BSN program. Significantly the highest number of learners (57.9%)
of DCSA program were detached from their study than the learners (49.3%) of BSN
program (p=0.012). Regarding the media programs, 62.7% of the learners gave their
opinion that TV programs were at the level best but they wanted to watch TV program at
the evening or night schedule. Based on opinions from the learners, revision of curricula
and syllabuses, interactive printed materials, effective coordination between academics
and administrative staffs and rescheduling of on-air TV programs are suggested. Results
of this study might provide valuable information for the policy makers and future
researchers to develop more appropriate learning materials and effective delivery
mechanisms for the enhancement of open and distance learning.
