NADEOSA Quality Criteria - Three New Case Studies

Nadeosa is proud to announce that we have three additional case studies to add to the collection illustrating our distance education quality criteria.

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.

The third case study from the University of Pretoria is entitled The Potential of Mobile Phones in Supporting Open and Distance (ODL) Learners. The case study illustrates attempts made by and open and distance learning (ODL) provider to harness appropriate and relevant technology to enhance learner support.
