What Akadesk Tertiary Online actually does

Run a distance-learning arm the regulator recognises.

Courseware as modules and units

Material is authored as Module → Unit → Item, the structure NOUN course materials already use, each unit carrying its reading, activities and self-assessment. Clone a course into the next semester instead of rebuilding it.

Release against the academic calendar

Content unlocks on the semester schedule rather than all at once. Cohort- and semester-paced by design, because a free-running self-paced degree is not what the Commission licensed.

Live facilitation, timetabled

Sessions are scheduled per course with join links to whatever platform you already use, plus the recording. Video is not rebuilt here — the timetable, the attendance and the record are.

Assessment that feeds the CA/exam split

Tutor-marked assignments carry continuous assessment and flow into the same results machinery as any other mark, so a 30/70 split is arithmetic rather than a spreadsheet somebody maintains.

Attendance without a roll-call

Barring is driven by content completion and submissions rather than physical presence, so an online student is never barred from an examination by a rule written for a lecture hall.

Study centres or campus residency

Both Nigerian ODL models are configuration rather than a fork: attach students to a centre network, or bring them in for residency weeks. Venues, capacity and examination allocation follow either way.

Getting there

How a institution starts

Model the arm

Programmes, levels, your grading scheme, and how you satisfy the in-person requirement — a study-centre network, or residency weeks on campus.

Author the courseware

Build each course as modules and study units, set the release schedule against the semester, and publish. Next session, clone it.

Teach, assess, examine

Facilitation runs to a timetable, assignments carry the continuous assessment, and examinations are allocated to a supervised venue. Results, GPA and transcripts come out the same end as everything else.
