| Studying through the Open Distance Learning mode requires great commitment.
Once you are enrolled in a course, you will need to complete assignments and
examinations according to a specific schedule.
If you are a working adult, you will find it helpful to get the support of your employer and your family. Their support will keep you motivated.
Fortunately, Wawasan Open is committed to supporting you as well. You will be
supported with a range of resources to guide and facilitate the learning process.
You will have access to academic advisory services and counselling. You will also be provided with comprehensive and high quality course materials that meet all your needs.
We are also setting up a digital library, where you can gain access to a large,
organised repository of information at any time, night or day.
Our
Learning Management Systems (LMS) will enable you to use interactive features such as bulletin boards, video conferencing, and on-line discussion forums. These systems will guide you through all stages of your learning cycle, organise your course, and keep track of your records and progress.
We also make full use of electronic communications - email, telephone, radio, audio and video facilities, and television - to support you in the learning process. This will add an interactive element to your learning process, which will be reinforced through a variety of practical and interactive exercises.
You will exercise control over your learning experience, but you will not be alone.
You will have the opportunity to engage in online collaborative learning with your peers.
Qualified tutors will assist you during highly supportive and learner-centred tutorial sessions. These sessions will be held during weekends at our strategically located regional
offices, which will also provide administrative as well as academic support to you. Tutors will also assist you through WawasanLearn e-forum.
