Other Information:

An Integrated Platform of Learning -- In principle, for every 20 students, a course-specialized tutor is assigned. The time schedules of the tutorial sessions are fully arranged prior to the commencement of the term. While these sessions allow for positive interaction between tutors and students, they also entice them to explore other logistic support resources available at the Learning Centres. LCs, in different AOU branches are connected by an integrated satellite network supported by a host of VSATs. Computer and multimedia laboratories are also intended to play an important role in enhancing the learning experience. These laboratories will be deployed at the LCs as integral components of logistic support for the learning process. Plans for utilizing various forms of information technology (IT) resources including the Internet as a medium of course delivery and support, in whole or in part, form primary components of the AOU's strategic planning.
