2022 Open Distance and e-Learning Virtual Conference

One of the most exciting aspects of research in open distance and e-learning (ODeL) is that there is still so much to be discovered. Despite an exponential increase in research on ODeL worldwide and in South Africa over the past decade, researchers are still only scratching the surface of the possibilities that beckon in this vital field; they are also grappling with the complexities of ensuring effective teaching, student support and retention. There is vast scope for inquiring minds to set a research agenda in ODeL and generate findings that can help shape people’s futures for the better.
