About University of Ibadan Distance Learning Programme

ODeL is the National Universities Commission's (NUC) approved ICT-enabled curriculum delivery mode, wherein curriculum delivery takes place in a blended 60% online, and 40%-to-face. The online delivery is anchored on a Specialized Learning Management System, Mobile Class with Course Webinars for learners to study and interact with their E-tutors, course lecturers/facilitators and other students in the world in real-time. 

The University of Ibadan has further provided Toll-Free Internet Data on its Learning Portal. Notably, the University has two modes of educational delivery: the conventional onsite mode and the Open, Distance and eLearning (ODeL) mode. And both modes are viable alternatives for pursuing a University of Ibadan degree, hence the entrenchment of the "Parity of Esteem" policy in the University. 

The policy stipulates that students on the two modes of study have equal rights and privileges in the University. And are in fact exposed to the same university curriculum and exams by the same course lecturers/facilitators, thereby graduating with the same University of Ibadan degree.
