CENTRE FOR DISTANCE LEARNING Philosophy | Programs | Requirements | Scope | Resources | Staff | Contact The idea of establishing FUTY Centre for Distance Learning dates back to the era of the immediate past Vice Chancellor: Professor Salihu Mustafa, when Senate at its 78th meeting held on Thursday 28th February and Friday 1st March 2002 approved in principle the establishment of the Centre for Distance Learning (CDL). The University Governing Council at its 46th regular meeting held on Tuesday 30th July 2002 formally approved the idea. Based on that, the FUTY Centre for Distance Learning started operation with Dr Mala Galtima serving as the pioneer Coordinator. The office secretariat of the Centre is located at Aliyu Mai Borno Estate, Yola town. The wisdom of establishing the Centre came in response to the federal government pronouncement on the need to provide open and distant education to Nigerians, in view of the insatiable quest for university education. In other word, the Centre was established with the primary aim of increasing access to education at all level to Nigerian, particularly those living within the University (FUTY) catchments areas that may be interested in learning and acquiring higher education to up-date their knowledge and skills. In addition to the above, the Centre has the following aims and objective: i. To widen the access to University education (Degree, Diploma & Certificates etc) to all people, especially those that may not have the opportunity for some reasons to acquire education through the conventional system of education. ii. To provide opportunity for further University education to enhance the people’s knowledge and professionalism in chosen areas of study. iii. To promote life-long learning at all levels of education. iv. To strengthen the internal revenue drive of the University To actualize the above stated objectives, the Centre in conjunction with the University Management went into partnership with the Bureau for learning Development of University of South Africa (UNISA) to organize and train the University (FUTY) Staff on the techniques and skills of developing learning materials for distance learning. The South African University (UNISA) successfully organized and conducted such training from the 12th – 24th July 2003. About ninety(90) lectures of the University ( FUTY) were trained by UNISA on the task of disseminating distance learning education. Those lecturers constitute the bulk of resource persons that developed the learning materials presently used by the centre. To date the Federal University of Technology Yola has been in constant contact with the South African University (UNISA) and also the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) and the African Council for Distance Education (ACDE) on distance learning matters. However, it wasn’t until during the tenure of the present Vice Chancellor: Prof. Abdullahi Yusuf Ribadu that the Centre for Distance Learning took off fully by mounting first degree programmes in Accounting, Business Management, Educational Management and Guidance and Counselling on distance learning basis. Learning is conducted through issuance of learning materials to students, no direct lectures to students per say. Learning is limited to contact period (not more than four times in a semester), after which the students are invited for semester examinations. The learning materials are developed in conformity with course units and curriculums from departments concerned as approved by the senate of the University. The Centre runs Masters degree (Rural Development), Posts Graduate Diploma (Environmental Resource Management), first degree programme (B.A. Language and Communication Arts) and Higher Diploma programmes (Public Administration and Health Services Administration) on part-time basis. Unlike distance learning, part-time programme is run through lectures holding on Fridays and Saturdays at the Centre’s premises (Aliyu Mai Bornu Estate) Yola town. The first set of B.A. Language and Communication Arts students are presently In their final year (400 level), with seventy eight (78) and one hundred and seven (107) students in 300 and 200 levels respectively.
