Abstract | This qualitative case study examines the challenges that influence the effective teaching and learning of Geography and Environmental Studies through Open and Distance e-Learning (ODeL) at the Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU). Semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis were employed to solicit information from twenty students and four tutors in the Geography and Environmental Studies Department (DGES). The selected research participants were chosen through convenience and purposive sampling. The DGES students' lack of computer skills and full use of e-learning, as students continue to rely on the printed module and face-to-face tutorials. The study recommends that the DGES offer an introductory course in computer use for first-year students and continuous ICT skills workshops to equip them with ICT skills. (As Provided). |
