List of Nigerian Universities Offering Open & Distance Learning Courses

Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is a flexible mode of education that allows learners to access learning materials and resources without being physically present in a traditional classroom setting. It offers a convenient way to acquire knowledge and skills, catering to a diverse population with various constraints such as time, location, and personal circumstances.

ODL heavily relies on technology for delivering content and facilitating interaction. Learners take responsibility for their learning process, thereby requiring strong motivation and time management.
