Being an ODL institution OUT operates through a network of 30 Regional Centres and more than 70 Study Centres in Tanzania and abroad. To address the emerging national, regional and global challenges which emanate from the fast changing perceptions and world cultural, social and economic outlooks, OUT has established several collaborations and links with local, regional and international organizations, associations, and institutions of higher learning such as the International Telecommunication Union, United Kingdom Telecommunication Academy, Namibia College of Open Learning, Triumphant College in Namibia,University of Zimbabwe, Egerton University in Kenya, Global Justice Solutions (a subsidiary of Coffey International), Cape Coast University in Ghana and the National University of Rwanda.

Educational delivery is attained through various means of communication such as broadcasting, telecasting, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs),correspondence, enhanced face to face, seminars, and contact programmes.
