Domasi College of Education Welcomes First Cohort of ODeL Students

Domasi College of Education (DCE) is pleased to announce the official orientation of its newly selected students in Bachelor of Education programmes through Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL). The students were oriented from 25^th to 29^th August 2025 on learning using learners’ Management System (LMS) and started their classes on 1st September 2025.  Among others, students were oriented on how they can use Moodle as a learning environment while they are away from the College. This marks an important milestone in the College’s journey to expand access to quality teacher education through flexible and technology-supported learning modes.

The selected students reported to campus on 24^th August 2025 and successfully completed their orientation on 29^th August 2025. The orientation sessions were designed to help students familiarize themselves with the ODeL mode of learning, the use of digital platforms such as Moodle, and the support services available to them throughout their studies.

Speaking during the orientation, the College Principal emphasized the importance of discipline, self-directed learning, and active engagement in online and face-to-face sessions. The students were also encouraged to make the most of the ODeL initiative, which is part of national efforts to broaden access to higher education while maintaining high standards of academic excellence.

The launch of ODeL programs at Domasi College is timely, aligning with Malawi’s vision to integrate technology, inclusivity, and innovation into higher education delivery. The College remains committed to ensuring that both the students and lecturers are fully supported to achieve academic success through this new mode of learning.

Domasi College of Education warmly welcomes this first cohort of ODeL students and wishes them success as they embark on their academic journey.
