Title A name given to the resource ENHANCING QUALITY OF UNIVERSITY E-LEARNING PROCESSES: STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION IN A BLENDED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AT THE ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY (ZOU) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource RITTAH KASOWE STEPHEN MWENJE Description An account of the resource Increasing competition from transnational Universities has forced many Universities in Africa to provide (ODL) through -learning technologies. In many cases E-learning is provided in partnerships with external providers or exclusively as foreign online programmes. Such E-learning provisions are not indigenous to receiving students as they are transplants from the source countries. However, universities in Africa have to become competitive by improving the quality of their programmes through blending traditional systems with e -learning. Quality enhancement of technology based teaching systems is a challenge especially to universities in the Sub- Saharan Africa seeking to add E-learning to their traditional systems to attract and retain students. This study seeks to explore stakeholder participation strategies that can be utilized to enhance the quality of blended learning services at the Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU). A case study methodology was used to gather data from a randomly selected ZOU Students and tutors from the University’s two of the ten regions. Questionnaires and interviews were used as main data collection instruments. The findings of this study shall contribute to theory and practice of university e-learning and quality enhancement Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Prime Research on Education (PRE) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 e-learning quality enhancement Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU)
