About the Manual

This is a manual for all those who would like to take up the challenging task of acting as a Tutor in an educational programme following Open and Distance Learning (ODL) methodologies. To introduce the concept of self-learning, an attempt has been made to make the manual self-instructional so that it is:

  • Self paced (i.e., it allows you to work through it on your own);
  • Easy to read;
  • Easy to follow the instructions;
  • Illustrated with examples to enhance understanding;
  • Activity based to provide opportunities to reflect on and apply your knowledge while studying.

The contents of this training manual were selected by your fellow colleagues after they had attended a face-to-face training programme. It was their consensus that the information in this manual would help others become efficient Tutors.

  • Unit 1: Introduction to Open and Distance Learning (ODL)
  • Unit 2: Curriculum and learning materials
