Great to Be Here▪ Thanks to COL & NOUN RETRIDAL for this
historic workshop. It is an honour.
▪ Commend Universities for planning DLCs as integral part of the growth and development of Higher Education in NIgeria.
▪ As the biggest and greatest proponent of ODL on the continent, I am glad that NOUN is providing leadership in this area.
▪ This presentation is only a very brief panoramic review of ODL.
▪ It is like DLC Course 101 as prelude to a vast area requiring extensive discussion. 3

‘Cradle to the Grave’
▪ Coping with the constant change in life.
▪Need to successfully manage our daily living in today’s world calls for making learning a continuing lifelong activity.
▪ Lifelong learning not as a privilege or a right but a necessity for every individual
▪ Lifelong learning will become the norm rather than the exception as a means of getting the whole society to learn continuously – from “cradle to the grave” as some would say. 45

Transient timesThe transition from the Industrial
to the Information Age was encapsulated by Dolence and Norris (1995), who argued that to survive organisations would need to change from rigid, formula driven entities to organisations that were “fast, flexible and fluid”

Knowledge First
“I will give you wisdom and Knowledge. And in addition, I will give you more wealth, treasure, and fame..”
2 Chronicles 1:1250
![Page 51: A ODL: Fundamentals, Justification and Going Dual Mode€¦ · and the Eco-Cultural Paradigm in Science and Mathematics Education in Africa 1995. ... 1974 –COSU, COSIT, DLI of UNILAG](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052020/603416f1a36e17237a62bc16/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Knowledge is the Word!
▪Social thinkers from Confucius through Buddha, Plato, Aquinas, Ibn Khaldun, Calvin, Newton, Rousseau, Comte, Mill, Marx, Gramsci, Nyerere to Wallerstein, Castro and Castells all allocate a special place to knowledge in their theories of development.
▪Education for them is the foundation for whatever form of development or progress one espouses.
▪Manual Castells: “knowledge and networks” 51

Dual Mode▪Deliberate strategic decision of parent
institution: response to needs & unmet demands (local & national)
▪ Aims at enhancing access and therefore usually caters for very large numbers
▪Has two main arms: the main Institution and a DLC, separate governance structure
▪DLC Operates semi- autonomously
▪Facilities and resources are common and shared

Why ODL is different and must
have its own Strategic Focus
![Page 59: A ODL: Fundamentals, Justification and Going Dual Mode€¦ · and the Eco-Cultural Paradigm in Science and Mathematics Education in Africa 1995. ... 1974 –COSU, COSIT, DLI of UNILAG](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052020/603416f1a36e17237a62bc16/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Uniqueness of ODL▪The ODL institution is quite different
▪Must be treated differently
▪The characteristics of an ODL institution suggest that its setting up and management are more demanding
▪Adequate, appropriate and well qualified human resource must be found
▪Your materials are open to the world! 59

How Strategic?
▪Does it fit the university culture?
▪ Is your mission statement used as foundation?
▪Use scenario planning
▪Use strategic compass
➢Identify what you do best and use as beacons
▪Combine top-down with bottom-up approach

▪Human capital development, and
▪Intellectual capital
▪ODL calls for:
➢Commitment
➢Passion
➢Interest 61

Unsustained Vision?▪The giant of Africa with Lilliputian
outcomes
▪Goldman Sachs ranks Nigeria as one of N11 countries with great potential.
▪Why can’t we turn this to positive end?
▪FG says:
➢history of economic stagnation, declining welfare and social instability for past 30 years. In spite of our resource endowment & potential for growth, our visioning have not been sustained.
