NADEOSA Quality Criteria - Two New Case Studies

NADEOSA is proud to announce that we have two additional case studies to add to the collection illustrating our distance education quality critieria. The first case study from the University of Swaziland A Case Study of Regional Strategic Alliances Toward Offering a Professional Psychosocial Support Programme illustrates the quality criterion on collaborative relationships. The second new case study Good Practice in Community Engagement: A Case Study of Household Food Security in the Eastern Cape illustrates good practice on how ODL providers should form partnerships with other stakeholders in order to address development challenges faced by communities around them.

NADEOSA Conference 2011

The National Association of Distance Education and Open Learning in South Africa held its annual conference on 29th and 30th August. The objective of this conference was to serve as a forum to discuss experiences and identify future research directions in relation to the facts outlined in the attached call for papers derived from the HEMIS. We would like to extend thanks to everyone who supported the event. The abstracts booklet provides links to presentations and papers. For further information go to the conference website.

Nadeosa Code of Ethics

The Nadeosa Code of Ethics was revised during 2011 and the revision was presented and to members at our 2011 Annual General Meeting and conference. The revision was approved and copies were circulated to members for signing. We have received some signed copies, however, we would like to urge all our members to sign the new code of ethics and return it to us, so that we can publicize on the website which of our members have endorsed the code of ethics. It is preferable that the head of your organisation is the signatory.
