[edit] Do all courses require some face-to-face teaching?

"Open university" is sometimes used for distance learning universities (e.g. Open Universities Australia) which offer some courses with no face-to-face requirement. I did a history course with Open Universities Australia while not even in Australia. Does the Open University of Israel have such courses? It might be good to clarify this. --Singkong2005 talk 05:55, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

It is possible, though it is not common, for people abroad to study in the Open University. They have to pay slightly more for that privilege, have no classes and have to take their tests in the Israeli Embassy, though. Simpsonary 15:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
It is also possible for local students to study without face to face teaching, and attending only the final exams. Liransh 19:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Open university israel logo.jpg

Image:Open university israel logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
