Meeting International Quality Standards in O/OL Program Delivery

The syllabuses of our open/learning programs meet high international standards. The design of the learning/study materials for supporting teaching and learning on these programs do follow international  standards. These learning/study materials exhibit the following features:

• Modularization of the contents of learning/study materials to ensure manageability of content. Each academic Program is sub-divided into courses; courses subdivided into modules; and modules subdivided into smaller manageable learning units
• Clearly stated objectives of the learning modules and units
• Contents are designed to be  self-explanatory, self-contained, self-directed and self-learning and supports independent learning
• Learner-friendly writing format and learning interface
• Helpful examples to illustrate/demonstrate  basic concepts
• Reference to the learner’s experiences
• Use of illustrations and graphics where appropriate and necessary
• Use of audio and video clips and animations where suitable
• Headings and navigation tools  to help students find their way around course/leaning materials
• Links to other online resources and reading materials where appropriate,
• Practice Tests and Quizzes to assess the level of  student’s understanding and comprehension of subject matters of the course
• Feedback from lecturers/instructors to help/assist students
• Suggestions about getting help from other sources

Extra effort has also been put into developing and deploying  learning management and support systems to assist students and faculty to have teaching and learning experience that ensures parity in standards with our regular campus-based programs. Some of the Open/Online Learning  support systems include: the Learning Management System of LeMASS, the extensive e-library resources, the student-to-faculty and student-to-student interaction and communications systems among others.
