Taiwan established its National Open University (NOU) in 1986 to provide people with greater equality and wider access to higher education. The problem studied was about how the NOU evolved as an innovative instructional system within the larger cultural context permeated by a traditional philosophy of education. This is a story about its socio-technology and NOU's institutional politics and about what could be learned of its development which could be useful to other practitioners in distance education.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Taiwan established its National Open University (NOU) in 1986 to provide people with greater equality and wider access to higher education. The problem studied was about how the NOU evolved as an innovative instructional system within the larger cultural context permeated by a traditional philosophy of education. This is a story about its socio-technology and NOU's institutional politics and about what could be learned of its development which could be useful to other practitioners in distance education.
520 $a Various methods, including in-depth interview, observation, and content analysis of relevant documents were used. Several themes emerged. Traditional beliefs about education, instructional methods, and academic degrees all contributed to shaping how the National Open University developed as a technology-based instructional system and consequently, its status as a non-traditional university within the national education system. The local political culture and styles of decision-making also shaped how technologies were used in this case. The people factor and the available resources dominated NOU's emergence as a socio-technical instructional system in which form superseded substance.
520 $a A further examination of NOU's development showed that institutional politics determined the realization of NOU's organizational goals. In summary, this study concluded that the introduction and the dissemination of an educational innovation in a society required a systemic change of the society, as described by one Chinese idiom "the pull of one hair may move the whole body." Only through the understanding of the systemic nature of the change process can practitioners plan for successful change strategies.
