This unit focused on the concept of distance education, its evolution and both classical and emerging theories shaping this mode of provision. It is hoped that through the unit, you have gained a good understanding of the various terms used in distance education discourse, like ODL and ODFL. We also hope that you now appreciate how classical theory shaped modern theory and practice in ODFL.
Before you proceed to Unit 3, check your understanding of concepts that were dealt with in this unit by going through the quiz in Moodle
