what is the difference between correspondence course and distance education and open university?

correspondence course is oldest form of distance education. correspondence course is a subset of distance learning. For DE, the material is specially designed to build a surrogate teacher to guide the student to learn. A number of activities and feedback mechanisms are included and a component of distance teaching is included as well. in correspondence courses, all that was done was to print the lectures taken by teachers and then send them by post. There was no difference between the regular and correspondence student, except that the latter did not go for classes. Otherwise, course, content and examination system was the same.
