The research findings accepted for presentation at the Annual Academic Sessions on 27th and 28th November are published in this volume.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The extended abstracts published in the Proceedings of the Academic Sessions 2014 are the work of researchers from both within and outside the Open University. This year, 130 extended abstracts were received, of which 90 research papers were accepted for presentation, after a peer review process. As in previous years, the papers presented in this year\u2019s Academic Sessions include Open and Distance Learning (ODL) studies as well as research and development in a wide variety of contemporary topics relating to Natural Sciences, Engineering, Education, Humanities and Social Sciences. The proceedings published in this volume are classified into 12 areas as shown in the contents and reflect the diverse range of the accepted research papers. It is my firm belief that the initiative taken by the Open University to make the Academic Sessions an annual event in the university calendar has contributed to strengthen the research and development activities of the university, and thereby contributing to the national development of Sri Lanka.&nbsp;<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div> <a href=\"https:\/\/ours.ou.ac.lk\/?p=582#more-582\" class=\"more-link elementor-more-link\"><span aria-label=\"Continue reading 12th Annual Academic Sessions of OUSL (2014)\">(more&hellip;)<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The extended abstracts published in the Proceedings of the Academic Sessions 2014 are the work of researchers from both within and outside the Open University.
