, 1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
Unisa is a comprehensive open distance e-learning (CODeL) higher education institution. As
such, our curricula comprise a range of offerings, from strictly vocational to strictly academic
certificates, diplomas and degrees. Unisa's "openness" and its distance e-learning character
result in many students’ registering at Unisa who may not otherwise have had an opportunity
to enrol for higher education. Our CODeL character implies that our programmes are
carefully planned and structured to ensure success for students ranging from those who are
underprepared but have potential to those who are sufficiently prepared.
Teaching and learning in a CODeL context involve multiple modes of delivery, ranging from
blended learning to fully online learning. As a default position, all postgraduate programmes
are offered fully online, with no printed study materials, while undergraduate programmes use
a blended mode of delivery, whereby printed study materials are augmented with online
teaching and learning via myUnisa, our learner management system. In some instances,
undergraduate programmes are offered fully online as well.
Furthermore, our programmes are aligned with the vision, mission and values of the
university. Unisa's commitment to serve humanity and shape futures, combined with a clear
appreciation of our location on the African continent, means that Unisa's graduates have
distinctive graduate qualities, including
• being independent, resilient, responsible and caring citizens who are able to fulfil
and serve in multiple roles in their immediate and future local, national and global
communities
• having a critical understanding of their location on the African continent, with its
histories, challenges and potential in relation to globally diverse contexts
• the ability to analyse and evaluate critically the credibility and usefulness of
information and data from multiple sources in a globalised world, with its ever-
increasing information and data flows and competing worldviews
• how to apply their discipline-specific knowledge competently, ethically and
creatively to solve real-life problems
• an awareness of their own learning and developmental needs and future potential
Whether a module is offered via a blended mode (i.e., using a combination of printed and
online material to engage with you) or fully online (i.e., all the information is available via the
internet), we use myUnisa as our virtual campus. This is an online system that is used to
administer, document and deliver educational material to you and support engagement with
you. Keep a lookout for information from your lecturer and from other Unisa platforms to learn
how to access the virtual myUnisa module site. Information on the tools that will be available
to encourage engagement between you, your lecturer/s and fellow students in support of
your learning will also be communicated via various platforms.
