Since 1999, the Open Distance Learning Department of the University of Bucharest educated over 6.000 students. Distance learning system offered the opportunity for all people to study - bachelor degree, masteral and post graduated programs were created to meet the people's demand for education.

Whatever the subject matter, the tutors identified common issues and situations specific to distance learning education systems and they were able to overcome all shortcomings with the help of course managers, pedagogues, webmasters and network administrators.
