• Korea National Open University
  Founded in 1972 as a branch of the Seoul National University, offering a two-year junior college programme to less than 30,000 students. Initially, the purpose was to provide a two-year college education to high school graduates who were unable to attend a traditional university. But as the demand for higher education grew and conventional colleges and universities were unable to accommodate this demand, a more cost-effective approach was sought resulting in the first national distance teaching college using TV and radio broadcasts. KNOU applies diverse learning systems and educational programmes such as the Internet, on-line, cable TV, EOD (Education on Demand), CD-ROM and radio in its educational programmes.
