Abstract
Learner support is an essential component of open and distance learning. This paper outlines a learner support system for the students in the islands of Maldives. The learner support system is based on a distance education model designed and developed for Maldives. This learner support system will enable the students to receive more timely feedback to their queries and builds on the existing support system
