I take this opportunity to welcome you to the Open, Distance & e-Learning (ODeL) Directorate at Kaimosi Friends University. Since we began in 2018, our mission has been to widen access to education, embrace flexibility, and extend learning beyond conventional classrooms. At KAFU, we offer blended learning that combines online and face-to-face instruction for richer learning experiences. Our Moodle Learning Management System is central to how we teach and learn, featuring interactive tools and live (synchronous) sessions so that students can engage with their instructors and peers in real time, alongside self-paced (asynchronous) materials for learning anytime.
We are committed to:
- Ensuring course materials are current, relevant, and designed for online, blended or distance delivery
- Supporting faculty in developing engaging course content using best practices of instructional design
- Offering technical and academic support to all our learners and faculty
- Fostering a community of inquiry, feedback, and continuous improvement
