Operations Research Applications in Higher Open and Distance Learning Systems

Abstract

In this chapter, some decision problems faced in Higher Open and Distance Learning (ODL) systems are discussed. The terms open learning and distance education represent approaches that focus on opening access to education and training provision, freeing learners from the constraints of time and place, and offering flexible learning opportunities to individuals and groups of learners.KeywordsAnalytic Hierarchy ProcessDecision ProblemDistance EducationVehicle Route ProblemAnalytic Network ProcessThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
