The Open University of Great Britain is an open-enrollment, home-based institution in which the majority of the instruction is conducted via broadcasts and correspondence. The student is required to interact with printed materials, broadcasts, tutors, counselors, assignments, cassette recordings, experiment kits, etc. The choice of media is intended to extend access to a broad audience and, at the same time, to be pedagogically sound. Since most students study individually, it is important that the different media elements of each lesson integrate well into the course structure. This integration can be facilitated by a course team approach in which the curriculum designers, media specialists, tutors, and instructors all work toward a predetermined set of educational objectives.
