Distance learning has existed in some form since the 18th century, beginning with lessons sent via mail. In the late 19th century, the International Correspondence School enrolled over 1 million students via correspondence courses. Technology expanded access to education through radio in the 1920s, television in the 1950s, and the internet starting in the 1960s. Today, over 5.5 million students take at least one online course, representing about a quarter of total enrollment. While flexibility and lower costs are benefits, challenges include lack of social interaction and support as well as technical issues. Distance learning continues to grow and new technologies will further influence its future development.E texbooks for student’s e-resources

Distance learning has existed in some form since the 18th century, beginning with lessons sent by mail. It expanded with the emergence of new technologies like radio and television in the early 20th century. The development of the internet in the late 20th century caused online education to explode, with the number of students taking online courses growing to over 5.5 million by 2009. While distance learning provides greater flexibility and access to education, it also presents challenges like lack of social interaction and dependence on functioning technology. Overall, it has grown increasingly popular as a way to learn with its enrollments increasing much faster than traditional higher education in recent years.Universitas terbuka at a glance

In recent times, computer-based technologies have become dominant forces to shape and reshape the
products and service that university library offers. The application of computer technologies has had a profound
impact on the way library resources are being used. The study focused on the use of Internet service by
postgraduate students for research in Francis Sulemanu Idachaba Library, University of Agriculture Makurdi.
Descriptive survey was used as design of the study. A questionnaire titled Use of Internet Service by
Postgraduate Students for Research Questionnaire (UISPSRQ) was used to collect data from a sample of 270
postgraduate students of University of Agriculture, Makurdi. The sample was drawn from the population of
2000 postgraduate students. The findings revealed that 37.78% had received Internet training from external
sources. The Internet skill of 44.44% was rated average. Only 22% used the Internet daily and 87.41 % claimed
that digital libraries had greatly enhanced their academic performance. Majority of 51.11% used Internet
facilities outside the University mainly for research and education activities. Problems encountered included
longtime to view or download web pages and insufficient computers. The study revealed that the use of Internet
had led to decreased in the use of traditional library facilities but only 94 % were fully satisfied with the
Internet facilities. A large majority of 92.96% were of the opinion that proper guidance of students in the use of
e-resource was needed.

This document analyzes access and use of ICT (information and communication technology) for eLearning in Nigerian tertiary institutions. It finds that while the Nigerian government has advanced ICT policies and infrastructure to support education, most institutions still face challenges in effective ICT implementation. Specifically: (1) Lecturers lack experience and training in using technology for teaching; (2) Infrastructure and internet access remain limited at many schools; and (3) Pedagogy remains largely teacher-centered despite goals of transforming to student-centered learning. Overall progress has been made but more support is needed for successful ICT integration in Nigerian education.Internet Usage by University Academics: Implications for the 21st Century Tea...

Information Technology is driving transformative pedagogy in both lower and higher education institutions. This paper discusses internet usage patterns among university academics before advancing to explore how to improve these aspects in the context of education. This descriptive survey collected data from a random sample of 440 university academics in Zimbabwe. Academics use the internet for research more than they did for teaching purposes. Statistical analysis of data revealed gender differences in internet access. Age and experience were found to explain differences in usage among university academics. Educational implications of these findings in relation to advancing development of 21st century skills through Information Technology in tomorrow’s leadership and drivers of country’s economic growth were highlighted. The study recommends a transformation of university teaching practice through technology based holistic models that encompass creative and innovative Webogogy and facilitative content delivery for better performance in higher educational institutions. The paper advocates for university management to promote Technology based teaching practice in universities, fund and develop formal training programmes to upgrade internet search and webagogy skills of academics.

UGC-Infonet was a digital library consortium launched in 2003 by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India to provide universities access to scholarly journals. It was operated by Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre. In 2015, UGC-Infonet was merged with NLIST and INDEST-AICTE Consortium to form e-ShodhSindhu consortium, with the objective of providing higher educational institutions access to full-text databases and resources at lower subscription rates. The document discusses the history and evolution of UGC-Infonet and its current form as part of the larger e-ShodhSindhu initiative.Adoption of institutional digital repositry: A thesis proppsal

SUNET is the National Research and Education Network in Sweden that interconnects universities and academic institutes with a high-speed 10 Gbit/sec network. NgREN in Nigeria aims to provide a similar service. Both networks have a star-shaped design with central routing in their respective capital cities, Stockholm for SUNET and Abuja for NgREN. While SUNET began in the 1980s and has a more developed infrastructure, NgREN aims to provide online academic archiving of research publications and student theses through a central repository, which would provide benefits such as long-term preservation and helping students find work by others. Universities would maintain autonomy by providing links to the central repository for approved works.2014 e learning innovations conference awoyemi access and use of ict for elea...

The document discusses a case study of ICT implementation in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. It finds that while the government has policies supporting ICT adoption and has invested in infrastructure development, many institutions still lack effective integration of ICT in teaching and learning. Barriers include inadequate infrastructure, lack of teacher training, and reliance on traditional teaching methods. Recommendations include expanding access to training, developing strategic ICT adoption plans, and encouraging innovative pedagogies that integrate technology.Out of mind, out of site: Engaging with your Alumni online (Eduweb 2013)

Abstract: E-learning represents an entirely new learning environment where information and communication
systems, whether networked learning or not, serve as specific media to implement the learning process for
students. In response to the fast development in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), e-learning
was therefore adopted by many universities and other higher institutions around the globe as a way of
improving and supporting their teaching-learning activities and making education accessible for all society
members.. Unfortunately, this rapidly changing technological resource along with the ever growing and mobile
society has no doubt created many challenges for students, teachers, parents, administrators and policymakers
particularly in developing countries. This actually made the paper to assess the e-learning structure in term of
physical infrastructure and human development at the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti through data collected
both by structured interview and questionnaires. The analyses of which the states of development are at low
realm therefore, call for a robust synergy that will be able to meet and cope with the test of the time.

Viceroys of India & Their Tenure – Key Events During British RuleDeeptiKumari61
Ìý
The British Raj in India (1857-1947) saw significant events under various Viceroys, shaping the political, economic, and social landscape.
**Early Period (1856-1888):**
Lord Canning (1856-1862) handled the Revolt of 1857, leading to the British Crown taking direct control. Universities were established, and the Indian Councils Act (1861) was passed. Lord Lawrence (1864-1869) led the Bhutan War and established High Courts. Lord Lytton (1876-1880) enforced repressive laws like the Vernacular Press Act (1878) and Arms Act (1878) while waging the Second Afghan War.
**Reforms & Political Awakening (1880-1905):**
Lord Ripon (1880-1884) introduced the Factory Act (1881), Local Self-Government Resolution (1882), and repealed the Vernacular Press Act. Lord Dufferin (1884-1888) oversaw the formation of the Indian National Congress (1885). Lord Lansdowne (1888-1894) passed the Factory Act (1891) and Indian Councils Act (1892). Lord Curzon (1899-1905) introduced educational reforms but faced backlash for the Partition of Bengal (1905).
**Rise of Nationalism (1905-1931):**
Lord Minto II (1905-1910) saw the rise of the Swadeshi Movement and the Muslim League's formation (1906). Lord Hardinge II (1910-1916) annulled Bengal’s Partition (1911) and shifted India’s capital to Delhi. Lord Chelmsford (1916-1921) faced the Lucknow Pact (1916), Jallianwala Bagh Massacre (1919), and Non-Cooperation Movement. Lord Reading (1921-1926) dealt with the Chauri Chaura Incident (1922) and the formation of the Swaraj Party. Lord Irwin (1926-1931) saw the Simon Commission protests, the Dandi March, and the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (1931).
**Towards Independence (1931-1947):**
Lord Willingdon (1931-1936) introduced the Government of India Act (1935), laying India's federal framework. Lord Linlithgow (1936-1944) faced WWII-related crises, including the Quit India Movement (1942). Lord Wavell (1944-1947) proposed the Cabinet Mission Plan (1946) and negotiated British withdrawal. Lord Mountbatten (1947-1948) oversaw India's Partition and Independence on August 15, 1947.
**Final Transition:**
C. Rajagopalachari (1948-1950), India’s last Governor-General, facilitated India’s transition into a republic before the position was abolished in 1950.
The British Viceroys played a crucial role in India’s colonial history, introducing both repressive and progressive policies that fueled nationalist movements, ultimately leading to independence.https://www.youtube.com/@DKDEducationYale VMOC Special Report - Measles Outbreak Southwest US 3-30-2025 FINAL v2...

- 2. University education in Uganda: Background •University education in Uganda began in 1922 •In 1937 it evolved into an institution of higher education •In 1949 it became a University College in special relationship with the College of London. •In 1963 Makerere was established as the University of East Africa •In 1970 Makerere became an independent national University of the Republic of Uganda. •At the moment has 22 faculties merged into 8 colleges •Makerere University has a student population of about 40,000. •The best in Uganda and 736th university in the world (URAP, 2010)
- 3. Kyambogo University • Kyambogo is the second largest University in the country • Established on 18th July 2003 as a Public University by merging three institutions • Has a total of six Faculties with total student enrolment nearer to 16,547 students (KYU, 2010). • Before 2003, all bachelors’ degree programs Kyambogo University were affiliated to Makerere University.
- 4. The concept of the Internet *Source: Affordable Website Design Colorado Springs, CO 80906 •Internet refers to a system of computer networks •A network of hundreds of thousands of computers all over the World •connected in a way that lets other computers access information on them (Usun, 2003).
- 5. Internet access • The term Internet access denotes ways to Internet connection. Though the Internet is still relatively new in Uganda, it is becoming an essential instructional media used by many students at higher education.
- 6. Internet Accessibility in Public Universities of Uganda • University libraries • Cell phones • A wireless modem • Internet Kiosks • An Internet café • Computer Lab/ Internet Lab • Wireless hotspots
- 7. Internet Use • In a conceptual context, students use the Internet for both academic and non- academic purposes. The graphic organizer below is related to Wesley (2010) and Woodson (2002) ideas of students’ Internet use, examined in the Ugandan context.
- 8. Academic Based Usage • Emails • With Chat Communication • Internet as a Research Tool • E-Notes • Distance Education • Internet Public Library-Based Resources Non-Academic Usage of the Internet • Chat Rooms • Downloading Music and Facebook • Games
- 9. The implication of Internet utilization to the universities of Uganda • More computers to supplement the existing stock. • Acquisition of ICT skills • The ‘bulkiness’ of information acquired • Time consuming • Cooperativeness of staff • ICT infrastructure with the UNAPD Accessibility Standards
- 10. Conclusions and Recommendations Since Modern university education worldwide is dependent on use of automated media to support and facilitate academic programs (URAP, 2010). A number of issues need addressed ahead of time to guarantee success of Internet use:- • All university teaching staff to acquire training in IT • An IT course for all university students regardless of their discipline • Academic to commend students who use Internet materials • More Internet access should be provided on campus. • Staffs that is concerned and willing to assist students. • Governing rules should be reinforced
