IOL BESP Course Contact Classes
Institute for Open Learning Bachelor of Education: Senior Primary (BESP) Course Contact Classes
Contact Classes
To make your studies as convenient as possible, IOL have Student Support Centers at all our Regional Offices across Namibia. In addition, IOL provides students the opportunity to attend contact classes on Saturdays. During these classes you will meet with the relevant, subject specialists who will advice you on assignments and give academic guidance and information on your course.
The “Lync” is a newly introduced contact classes system that was launched this year. Classes are contacted in Windhoek and transferred to big screens at the regional IOL offices. This is advantageous to both the Institution and the students. Students in all regions thus receive similar lesson contents and summaries. The lessons will be recorded and uploaded on the IOL website Student Portal for student reference. It is very important that students come to contact sessions after thorough preparation.
Students who attend contact classes will be provided with contact details for tutors specific to their courses. The clases are set-up as follows:
- The Vacation School contact classes. These contact classes will take place only in Windhoek and Ongwediva. The main focus of these sessions will be on subjects’ contents and pedagogies.
- The Assignment-based contact sessions: These contact sessions will be orientated to toward helping students with the problems they encountered whilst completing assignments and takes place countrywide.
- The Exam-based contact sessions to be presented at all regions. These are exam orientated, thus, exam scopes and any other related issues can be discussed here. Exam scopes will be available for all tutors at the most applicable time.
- The Subject contact classes. These contact classes are aimed at having discussions related to subject content and will be presented at all regions.
Please see the contact classes’ time table for more information.
