THE FIRST E-LEARNING PROGRAM IN SOMALIA
The University of Bosaso e-learning program is one of the first of its kind in Somalia. UOB is the leading institution that offers fully-fledged quality online education in the country. It gave many students, who have the tight work schedules or in a long distance, the opportunity to continue with their studies while at home. The program is aimed at reducing the difficulties students face in finding the time and funding to come to the university to study, and therefore developed the e-learning program to make available specialized and advanced program to all people locally and globally. Studying through the e-learning system provides an attractive option for those financially challenged, commitment to work or family, or lack of access to higher education on a full time basis due to other reasons.
This mode of delivery minimizes a learner’s over reliance on the lecturer by utilizing a mix of multi-media technologies augmented with limited face-to-face interaction to facilitate knowledge acquisition (blended learning) and compressed learning. Through the ODL, the university has taken a more practical approach to pedagogy by incorporating advanced learning methods, thus fulfilling students learning needs.
