Obafemi Awolowo University launches e-Learning for Distance Learning

OAU Distance Learning which is accredited by Nigerian Universities Commission has launched VigiTabs for its DL students. This VigiTabs will enable students to receive their lectures wherever they are.
OAU Director of Centre for Distance Learning, Prof. Bode Asubiojo said:

"This development is the first of its kind in Nigeria and we are pleased with it. We have replicated the classroom experience on a tablet device for students. For the first time, students can receive lectures, submit assignments, participate in forums, take quizzes, and even rewind their lecturers, all from the comfort of their homes, offices or wherever they may be in Nigeria or abroad.”  The eLearning solution is powered by a Learning Management System (VigiLearn) that allows students to receive lectures, submit assignments, relate with peers, participate in group discussions and get graded without being physically within the four walls of a lecture room.  The VC of OAU, Prof. Bamitale Omole assured the students that their certificate will not be inferior to those obtained via conventional learning method. Modern technology meets modern education. This is a good progress for Nigerian Education sector. Some of the qualified students who cannot gain admission into universities due to lack of space can benefit from this as well as busy workers who wish to improve their education and at the same time retain their jobs.
