• Open learning refers to the policies of the educational system in which the learning activity is occurring. Policies that permit open entry to learning, liberal transfer of credits and recognition of prior learning would be indicators of an open learning system. Such policies are often not part of a distance education system, yet the two labels are often used together and interchangeably, which can be very misleading.
• Flexible learning describes learning opportunities that can be accessed "any place and any time." The term relates more to the scheduling of activities rather than to any particular delivery mode. For example, a flexible learning environment can be provided in one or more modes.
• Distance education connotes a physical separation between the learner and the teacher with a variety of mediating processes used to convey content, provide tutoring and conduct knowledge assessment. The term should not be applied, therefore, to on-campus learning venues
