Abstract (2. Language):
A new member of the mega-Universities, Bangladesh Open University (BOU) introduced a
course team approach for developing effective course materials for distance students.
BOU teaching media includes printed course books, study guides, radio and television
broadcasts, audiocassettes and occasional face-to-face tutorials. Each course team
comprises specialist course writer(s), editor, trained style editor, graphic designer,
illustrator, audio-visual producer and anonymous referees. An editorial board or preview
committee is responsible for the final approval for publishing or broadcasting materials
for learners. This approach has been proved to be effective, but appeared to be
complicated and time-consuming. This report focuses on the quality and processes of BOU
course materials development taking into account the strengths and weaknesses of the
current approach.
