Özet:

Anadolu University Open Education System has existed to date as a steadily developing/growing system in views of both the number of programmes and instructional content and materials since it was founded in 1982. Various attitudes (positive or negative) towards the system have been adopted by the students and graduates in the meantime. Reviews of these attitudes and studies on their reasons are fairly rare. With the proliferation of social media, hypertexts, developed with the voluntary participation of users, have acquired the characteristics of a database of perceptions, comments and attitudes representing different sections of society as well as their numerous functions. Ekşi Sözlükii, founded in1999 as a format peculiar to Turkey and a collaborative structure providing an environment of free expression and broad participation, has ranked among the most used social media tools thanks to broad participation and access. It is observed that Open Education System has been subject of discussion under various and numerous topics and posts from its foundation to date. Thus, 16 years’ experience is the point in question in this issue. This study is a content analysis conducted considering the feedbacks on the system, having departed from the idea that this experience may make it possible to draw inferences about the attitude towards the system of the community it represents. The study deals with the posts and topics about Open Education between 1999 and 2015.
