Its delivery of real-time experiences for students has resulted in even more students accessing the site, sharing resources, discussing content and supporting one another in their educational journeys. OTEN also uses virtual classroom and conference tools to conduct live orientation sessions and tutorials for students. The Student Administration and Management System (SAM) enables OTEN to efficiently manage its distance students and on-campus and offsite teachers. It provides a comprehensive, auditable event and contact history for every student and manages the dispatch of well over 300,000 learning resource items per year. Another OTEN custom-designed online tool is Your Decision, which helps prospective students assess whether distance learning is suited to their needs and circumstances. This interactive platform features videos, course tasters and self- reflection tools and enables people to sample short courses in the form of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
