On Adding Value to Learning Experiences through Support Services: Case Study of IGNOU
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Open and Distance Learning System is now three decades old in India. A learner in this system is away from her teachers and peers. Thus proper organisation of learner support services is extremely crucial to ensure efficient functioning of the system and enrich her learning experiences. This paper deals with the issue of value addition through support services and also about inculcation of moral and ethical values among all the stakeholders. In order to illustrate the point we have described our experiences at IGNOU, the largest Open University in the world.
