Open Distance and Flexible Learning (ODFL) is increasingly becoming popular at both schooling and post-schooling levels across the world. This is because of the flexibility this mode of provision offers, which makes it possible to accommodate the learning needs of a wide range of students. Especially where mobile technology is used, ODFL is known to facilitate anytime, anywhere learning, (UNESCO, 2013) .
\nThe Quality Assurance for Open Distance and Flexible Learning 1<\/b> (QA4ODFL1) online course will take you through salient aspects that need careful attention if ODFL provisioning is to be credible. Although much reference will be made to open schooling, these key aspects equally apply to ODFL at post-schooling levels. In fact, most open schooling systems offer a mixture of national school curriculum subjects as well as vocational and professional training programmes.\n<\/p>\n
