I worked for two years in an open learning centre and have to say that it doesn't work for everyone. In spite of having had the system explained to them before enrolment, many learners experienced a feeling of abandonment and the attrition rate was high. On the other hand, there were those who raced through the learning materials far more quickly than they would have done under instruction. I would be interested to see a study on the personality profiles of those who cope with open learning.
