About us

The Institute of Distance Education provides educational and training opportunities for individuals who are unable to undertake conventional university programmes and courses. The Distance Education (DE) system involves teaching and learning at a distance with a package of multimedia instructional materials. It is learner-oriented and enables the learner to learn independently at a distance at his/her own pace and place.

 

Academic Support

The University of Eswatini (UNESWA), Institute of Distance Education (IDE) was founded as a response to overwhelming requests from working adults for programmes that would allow them to learn, gain new knowledge and acquire credible qualifications while simultaneously earning an income...

Blended Learning

As part of the University Strategic Plan (2018-2022), the IDE has focused on implementing Blended Learning (BL), which combines online digital media with traditional classroom method through offering components of courses by an electronic learning platfom.

Instructional Materials

Study materials are made available through print and electronic media for access and use by distance education students, lecturers and tutors.

Learning Centres

Learning centres have also been organised in Manzini, Nhlangano, Pigg's Peak and Siteki to improve easy access to study materials for our students. The Learning Centres will be officially launched soon.

The vision of the Institute of Distance Education is to be an international centre of excellence in distance education access, delivery, practice, research and life-long learning.

The mission of the Institute of Distance Education is to increase access to tertiary education by providing demand-driven educational and training opportunities to individuals (employed, self-employed, unemployed and school leavers) by offering them quality short and long term credit and non-credit courses using the distance education delivery mode.

The Distance Education (DE) system involves teaching and learning at a distance with a package of multi-media instructional materials. It is learner oriented and enables the learner to learn independently at a distance at his/her own pace and place.

IDE offers Undergraduate Higher Certificates, Undergraduate Diploma and Degree Certificates; as well as a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. This year we have new programmes to be offered in August 2019. We work tirelessly to bring you the programmes you need.
