VK: The whole idea behind distance education has been to take education to people who cannot come to the university because of work, or because they live too far from a university, or because they do not have enough money. Various countries have tried to address the problem of access to education by using the postal service, as the U.K. Open University did in the beginning; interactive telecommunications, as they did in the University of Maine system and in other places around the world; and now the Internet. Open-education efforts, as exemplified by MIT's OCW initiative or the many other initiatives that have sprung up since, make course content and other materials from educational institutions freely available on the Web for direct use or for repurposing for different contexts.
