Abstract
The purpose of this article is to show the mechanism of cooperation at the level of teaching staff, students and administrative and technical staff as the three main actors in open and/or distance learning (ODL). The participatory observation approach carried out within the ODL organization in management sciences at the University of Antananarivo (Madagascar) has made it possible to bring out the result of the configuration of community - organic cooperation based on social identification and solidarity. The ODL platform constitutes a fundamental mechanism for ensuring the functioning of cooperation between stakeholders.
Highlights
Nowadays, open and/or distance learning (ODL) is an unavoidable orientation in the university world due to its international expansion (Batime C. & Weber E., 2007)
Following the observation within the organization of the Management ODL of the University of Antananarivo, particular attention was paid to the form of community - organic cooperation
In the absence of teaching staff and administrative and technical staff, and especially when carrying out the student's personal work (SPW), breakdowns into groups of students were observed such as group 1(S), group 2 (S) to group n (S)
Summary
Open and/or distance learning (ODL) is an unavoidable orientation in the university world due to its international expansion (Batime C. & Weber E., 2007). In view of the distance in space between all the players in the ODL, the cooperation mechanisms play a primordial role for the proper functioning of the system in order to transform the input elements into output elements (according to the ISO standards version 2015). From this perspective, the group is considered as a center for analysis of cooperation because higher education students are frequently invited to work in groups to acquire knowledge (Laurent Cosnefroy and Sonia Lefeuvre, 2018).
