IODeL in brief

The Moi University Institute of Open Distance e-Learning (IODeL) has been positioned to drive the University's curriculum in a digitally competitive space, by providing teaching staff with capacity to use current Instructional Design approaches that make learners' experiences both rewarding and interesting. In this regard, the Institute has leveraged on the diverse technological advances, such as the emerging popularity of the smartphone, to develop a versatile platform to offer flexibility to digital learners to access the Moi University Learner Management System (LMS) called Moi University System of Managing Instruction (MUSOMI), which is also the Kiswahili word for “scholar”. The Google MUSOMI Mobile App. is providing convenient access to the LMS for the learners, with the unlimited potential for Open and Distance Learning to offer flexibility to the learner in choice of place, pace of course completion, and the timing of a programme.
