The study was quantitative in its approach and descriptive research design was adopted. Data were collected through Google data analytics software. In this research the data of ODLSS for four years were included from 2016-2019. To explore the trends in ODLSS the data were collected on number of visitors, visitors by time, city, country, technology, screen resolution, and language used. It was found that over the time period AIOU students increased in accessing the ODLSS using mobiles through android and windows sets. They mostly used chrome to access the website. At present no mobile APP has been developed by AIOU for the mobile users. So, it was recommended that AIOU should develop a mobile application for android users so that students may get information easily anywhere.Muhammad Zafar IqbalKamran MirSafia JanjuaInternational Islamic University IslamabadarticleTheory and practice of educationLB5-3640ENInternational Journal of Distance Education and E-Learning , Vol 5, Iss 2, Pp 58-73 (2020)
