THE DIRECTORATE OF OPEN DISTANCE AND E-LEARNING
Turkana University College, Directorate of Open Distance and e- Learning (ODEL) seeks to reach out to students who are busy but need to learn, progress in their careers and also to give learners an opportunity to pursue our courses with flexible time schedules. This is to the advantage of students who may not have time to attend traditional classroom sessions.
