    Students’ assessment of open distance learning programs and services in Nigeria: a comparative description of three selected distance learning institutions
    (2020) Itasanmi, S. A.; Oni, M. T.; Adelore, O.
    This study reported students' assessment of open and distance learning programs and services vis-à-vis teaching and learning experience, educational resources, technical support service, and infrastructural facilities in ODL institutions in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design and the participants for the study comprised of 719 students randomly drawn from three purposively selected ODL institutions in Nigeria. A semi-structured questionnaire was used as an instrument for the study. Quantitative data generated from the survey were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) while the qualitative data was content analyzed. The result of the study showed that students enroll in open and distance learning programs majorly as a result of the flexibility in learning. While students relatively rate their teaching & learning experience, educational resources, and available infrastructural facilities in their universities good, they, however, rate technical support services provided in the ODL institutions as being poor. A comparative analysis of the students’ assessment in the three institutions revealed that there exists a statistically significant difference in teaching & learning experiences, available educational resources, technical support services, and infrastructural facilities in the institutions. Based on the findings of the study, some recommendations were made

    Determinants of learners' satisfaction in open distance learning programmes in Nigeria
    (2020) Itasanmi, S. A.; Oni, M. T.
    This study focuses on examining the relationship, and contribution of teaching and learning experiences, educational resources, technical support service, and infrastructure to the determination of learners' satisfaction in Open Distance Learning programmes in Nigeria. The study is guided with four research questions, and a descriptive research design approach was adopted for the study. A sample size of 719 students was randomly selected from three (3) purposively selected ODL institutions in South-western Nigeria. A semi-structured questionnaire duly validated was used in collecting data for the study. Data collected were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and regression analysis. Results revealed that there is a significant relationship between teaching and learning experience, educational resources, technical support and infrastructure, and general satisfaction of students in ODL programmes. Also, age, sex, and school significantly jointly predict the general satisfaction of students in ODL programmes among other results. It was, therefore, suggested that future studies should consider some other factors that influence learners' satisfaction for the efficiency of the ODL delivery system in Nigeria
