Makale Özeti:

The growth of enrolment in the ODL system has been considerable. However, another
parameter of significance in the context of Open and Distance learning is the learner success
rate. While enrolment rates have been very encouraging in distance education, the pass-out
rates haven’t been similar. There is a need to focus on the dynamics involved after a learner
enrols himself in an OU and what drives him to stay focussed and complete his academic
pursuit successfully or alternatively what holds or slows his academic progress and eventually
makes him drop out. The study highlights that there are both institution-based (that is OUbased)
and learner-centric factors that could facilitate learners to successfully complete their
studies. There are both controllable and uncontrollable factors that affect the OU learners’
success rate. This study attempts to capture the learner-centric factors and OU-related factors
that have facilitated the learners to successfully complete their study.
The paper delves into those key aspects or factors which would have facilitated the passed
out learners in successfully completing their programmes in the open system. The findings are
of direct interest, both from an institution perspective and that of a distance learner. It
provides inputs to the Open and distance learning system, towards formulating appropriate
strategies that further facilitate learners to successfully pass out. Also the findings serve as
indicators/guide rules for any learner in the open system.
