Özet: Turkey is in both Europe and Asia, and has Anadolu University with 760,859 students (in 1998, according to the World Bank) which is the largest mega-university in the world, founded in 1982. Anadolu University currently has three distance-education faculties ;- the Open Education Faculty (OEF), the Faculty of Economics, and the Faculty of Business Administration. Other forms of distance education through the Ministry of National Education include the Open High School (OHS), the Open Primary School, and the Open Vocational and Technical Education School. Today, Anadolu University has, including the distance education system, 12 faculties, 9 vocational schools, a state conservatory and 12 research institutes. Although Turkey has the technological capability for more interactive two-way communications, all distance education including learner support services are through the older one-way technologies. Various social and political constraints remain to be negotiated.
