Dear Student,

We have compiled this contact session booklet in order to assist you with your studies.

This booklet will give you all the information regarding modules as well as the dates and times contact sessions will take place in your area. Take note that only modules as allocated on the time table will be facilitated on the assigned dates for these modules.

Timetables for all sessions as from Dec 2012 – 31 Oct 2013 are included in this booklet. Lecturers can be seen during office hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. You may also book an appointment with them on a specific day.

If an sms is sent out to you informing you about contact sessions, refer to your year programme before contacting the helpdesk. Your yearbook will indicate times and venues for these sessions. Not all sms’s are applicable to all students.

Familiarise yourself with dates of sessions taking place in your area.

Take note!!!! The majority of sessions at all tuition centres will be facilitated utilizing the interactive white boards. Your year programme will clearly indicate which sessions will be facilitated on the interactive white boards and which will be facilitated by facilitators for a particular session. No other modules will be facilitated at a tuition centre on one specific date.

Take note!!! Modules that reflect on timetables will all be facilitated on the given date for that specific timetable. Sessions being facilitated on the interactive whiteboards will be facilitated on the scheduled times indicated in your year programmes. Modules being facilitated by facilitators at tuition centres appear in your timetable and can be facilitated at any time during that day.

The majority of facilitation sessions during 2013 will be done utilizing the interactive whiteboards installed at tuition centres. See timetables and arrangements regarding this matter in this year programme.

Open Distance Learning (ODL) BEdHons

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WHAT IS OPEN DISTANCE LEARNING (ODL)

ODL refers to any off-campus academic programme(s) offered by the NWU, independently or in terms of an agreement of co-operation with another public or private provider of higher education. Students may enrol at any time of the year and minimum and maximum study periods are applicable. ODL-programmes imply independent study by students in combination with structured contact sessions and student support consisting of appropriate study material and access to lecturing staff. The Unit for Open Distance Learning (UODL) of the NWU is responsible for in-service training of under- or unqualified teachers, as well as further training of already qualified teachers, by means of ODL-programmes. The ODL instructional model makes provision for a Summer and Winter school, interactive white board sessions presented at tuition centres countrywide and facilitation sessions for selected modules.

TERMINATION OF STUDIES OF ODL-STUDENTS

Minimum and maximum duration of study periods for BEdHons are indicated in the information booklets.

Six months before maximum duration of study is exceeded and a student’s studies are finally terminated, such a student will receive a warning letter from the Director of the Unit for Open Distance Learning (UODL) to inform him/her of one final and once off examination opportunity to successfully complete all outstanding modules.

If there are still modules outstanding after the occurance of such an exam opportunity, the studies of such a student must be terminated in terms of General Rule A.6.6.

Only in exceptional cases and then on the grounds of irrefutable evidence will the Director of the UODL consider a request for continuation of studies from a student whose studies have been terminated. Should such an application be successful, the student will be afforded only one examination opportunity to complete all outstanding modules.
