OAU 2017 Distance E-Learning Programs Application Form Is Out, Admission requirement and Closing Date

What is OAU E-Learning?

In case you want to know what it means and how its operate. E-Learning is the delivery of education where the instructor and the learners are geographically separated- and technology, is used to bridge the instructional gap.|

The convergence of new information technology such as telecommunications, computers, satellite and Optic Fibre technology has facilitated harnessing the power of information technology to deliver distance education.

Thus, a variety of technologies (audio, video, data and print) are utilized for possible delivery systems and how they are delivered (e.g. satellite, microwave, Optic Fibre etc..).

The choice of the appropriate instructional technology depends on learner needs and course requirements.

About OAU eLearning Programme

The programme is administered online through a customized study tablet called the Vigitab. Students do not have to report to a physical classroom. Their classroom is on the Vigitab which would be given to each student upon resumption. You are only required to come to school to write your exams.

Quizzes and Assignments are taken and submitted online as well. Lecture materials come in the form of PowerPoint slides which instructors use to teach the classes. Lectures are captured on video and

accompanied by hand-outs in PDF format, and other additional materials and references as the instructor deems necessary.

The curricula for the various programmes are the same as for regular in-house programmes within the University; hence, the degrees, diplomas and certificates are the same as for full-time students. eLearning students also learn from the same lecturers who teach on-campus as they deliver lectures and course material online or pre-recorded, thus ensuring parity of curriculum contents and academic standards both on-campus and off-campus.

The total time to complete an online course is equivalent to that of an on-campus

programme and the same degree will be earned as the ones on-campus.
