What is Open Distance e-Learning (ODeL) & is Unisa for you?
Have you ever successfully completed a qualification through Unisa / distance learning?
Open Distance e-Learning (ODeL) is a different way of learning
ODeL is a different way of learning… there is a physical distance between you and your university. For most of us, this means that our previous learning experiences will not have prepared us for the Unisa study journey. In open distance e-learning, YOU are responsible for your studies. You don’t attend daily lectures. You learn from a distance and you connect to the university mostly via the internet.
But this doesn’t mean that you are on your own. Unisa has several support services for our students – from tutorial support and counselling, to online tools. The "distance" in open distance e-learning means that most of your interactions with Unisa will take place at a distance - mostly in digital format.
How ready are you for Open Distance e-Learning (ODeL)?
Many of us don't know what it’s really like to study through open distance e-learning, because most of our schooling and post-school education was completed through contact or face-to-face learning..
