six campuses (41543 students and 5353 staff). The campuses are located
within easy reach of the majority of Victoria's population, with five

Open University, United Kingdom
Accreditation: UK Department For Education, Higher Education Funding Councils, British Psychological Society, British Computer Society
Web Site: http://www.open.ac.uk
E-mail:Internet-Course-Enquiries@open.ac.uk b.a.price@open.ac.uk
Description: The Open University is the UK's largest University and also its largest
publisher. Our specialty is multimedia distance teaching via a custom
blend of printed material, TV programmes (we have our own dedicated BBC
studio/production centre on campus), radio programmes, cassettes,
videos, CD-ROMs, computer-mediated communication, videoconferencing,
virtual classrooms, and 'home experiment kits' (e.g. chemistry labs and
rock samples to explore in your kitchen, build-it-yourself robots,
etc.). Over 100,000 undergraduates are currently enrolled, as well as
over 150,000 Continuing Education students (the former study for a B.A.
degree, whereas the latter just take isolated courses). There are no
entrance requirements, but strict standards are maintained by external
examiners from other universities who assist with the assessment of
final examinations. More than 2,000,000 people have now studied with
the OU in one or other of its programmes. Approximately 30,000 students
each year are involved with courses that have a home computing element,
and this number is about to rise dramatically.
