Globalization in Distance Education in 21st Century.

Abstract

Open and distance learning system had grown tremendously around the world by 1960. It was tarred also in the form of correspondence course or distance education by some traditional universities like Delhi University (1962). Lifelong learning the indispensable key to the twenty first century now requires universities to radically review their structures, modes of functioning, and attitudes. The challenge is no less than that of modernity itself. We may have confident that they will take up that challenge with the same determination to serve the interests of learners above all else.
