Abstract
Since the 1970s, the Open University (OU) has pioneered the concept of supported open learning in which adult students are provided with a range of systems and supports to help them overcome the loneliness of studying at a distance. Examples include: face-to-face tutorials, regional centres, counselling services, pre-course packs and study skills advice and training. However, the advent of on-line courses and virtual institutions since the 1990s raises the question all over again, about the responsibilities of universities towards their students.
