1. Does the administration of  ODL  require different policies from the on campus?

Yes the administration of open and distant learning should require different policies since the setting would be different. 

2. What are some of the policy considerations in a distant and online environment that would help support delivery of service to the distant learner?

It would require online course regulation and teacher to student ratio and even course management.

Thank you Dawn. Yes, it is true that ODL requires some policy changes that may not be apparent in a face-to-face mode of learning. The policies may range from Learner support policies in the ODL environment to policies on management of LMS ,if it a virtual learning environment. There is also need for policy on the number of students that constitute a class as you have put it.
Best of luck in the next unit.
