Multiple Intelligence in Achieving the Objectives and Goals of Open and Distance Learning Institutions - OJO and OLAKULEIN, TOJDE
The organization and administration of open and distance learning institutions, the world over, tend to differ from those of the traditional conventional institutions. There is an agglomeration of intellectual efforts and physical abilities in the approach to goal formulation, management and achievement of organizational objectives in distance teaching/learning institutions. The notion that the quality of training and education at open and distance learning institutions is second-rate stems largely from the fact that many are ignorant of the intricate efforts and skills that are actually needed for the effective and efficient management of such an institution – before, during and after instructional delivery. However, developments in education have proved the effectiveness of distance learning methods in the training of professionals, technicians and artisans who specialize in various fields. Consequently, there is a growing confidence in and assertiveness for this method that had for so long suffered an inferiority complex in the presence of the commonly accepted classroom type of education. This is not unconnected to the fact that the pedagogical effectiveness of distance teaching institutions have become recognized and arguments in support of their cost-effectiveness have become more acceptable.
