In May 2014,
Kampala the Ugandan capital played host to the 9th edition of the
largest gathering of eLearning professionals on the continent when the
eLearning Africa 2014 conference held under the title "Opening frontiers
to the future".
The main
focus of the eLearning Africa conference was to discuss the latest innovations,
ideas, opportunities and challenges of using electronic media together with
information and communication technologies (ICT) to drive development and
education. Continue...
Nigeria took center stage when the OAU
eLearning solution was exhibited to the over 1,000 participants from 68
countries across Africa and the world in attendance at the event.
The Center for Distance Learning, Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in April 2014 launched the first eLearning solution
of its kind in Africa. This eLearning solution is projected to increase the
University’s student base drastically and give more than 50,000 people the
opportunity to
receive
certified undergraduate and post-graduate degrees each year.
What is eLearning? - eLearning is learning conducted through
electronic media, such as laptops, tablet devices and mobile phones, typically
on the internet. With e-learning, learning has moved beyond the 4 walls of the
classroom to your home, office, car and any location you may be.
Upon admission,
each student will be provided with a customized tablet device, the ‘Vigitab’;
this would allow them watch video lectures, interact with their lecturers and
classmates, download and upload assignments, and have access to an endless
collection of books from the e-Library.The ‘Vigitab’ is built specifically for
Africa and its peculiar needs – power supply and data access. It has incredible
battery power and are designed to allow access to lectures with or without
internet provision so that no matter where you are, LEARNING NEVER STOPS!
Following
the official approval by NUC, OAU-CDL has now begun receiving applications for
the 2013/2014 academic session in four B.Sc. Degree programs: Accounting,
Economics Education, Social Studies Education, and Nursing.
Lectures are
delivered by the same Lecturers teaching the on-campus students, using the same
lecture materials. An eCommunity of Lecturers, Tutors and Students ensures that
a higher level of interaction is achieved since members are always within reach
24/7. Assignments are submitted online, while practical sessions and
examinations are taken on Campus. Successful students are awarded the same
certificate as the on-Campus students.
On the OAU
eLearning platform, the admission process is fully automated, from application
to payment to registration and lectures. It is the eLearning Revolution where learning
is brought to the comfort of your room or office space. For more details visit http://online.oaucdl.edu.ng
Application
